”The municipality has wanted to construct the rural, flat seaside landscapes with an architecture that communicates the originality and spirit, the youthfulness and respect for the environment in the locality. Whilst the architecture chosen by Oulunsalo, known under the name “the Oulu School” is connected to the tradition, it has deliberately been oriented to the future. It has shown the power of the North using space and light, and reached out to internationality.” Jouko Leskinen
