The Mill, Finland, by Sami Rintala and Janne Saario
Inspired by Finland's traditional scene, The Mill is a landscape art exhibition proposal with an ecological edge. The brainchild of the architect, Sami Rintala and architectural student, Janne Saario, the project is a shelter for Kayak paddlers and hikers, which can be reached from land and water. Apart from the local cultural references, its functionality and sleek aesthetics, the Mill features an important ecological aspect: all necessary energy is taken from the river without affecting the river's natural flow.
The structure is composed by two shelters facing each other, with the Mill/energy source placed in the water in between. The shelter will feature high insulation and special batteries to save the extra energy produced.
The project is planned for construction on the Halikko River in southwest Finland during the summer of 2008 and will be part of the Halikonlahti Green Art events series.
