Dear Miljenko,

The new Railway Station of Sarajevo was designed by architects

The station was declared National Monument in 2018.

1801. Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland

Querida Sara,

Este famoso museo en Helsinki fue ideado originalmente
como fruto de dos fuerzas convergentes en su emplazamiento:
la "línea cultural" que lo curva hacia el magnífico Palacio de
Conciertos llamado Finlandia Hall, y la "línea natural" que lo
desvía hacia el paisaje del fondo y la Bahía de Töölö. El
resultado es un edificio espectacular y luminoso.

Paralelismos entre espacio y vida.
R
