Big Apple, Finland
Project:
Big Apple Shopping Center with senior citizen apartments. Opend on 24th September 2001.
Description:
After the opening of Big Apple, there are 50,000 more cars moving in the area each week. Around the center there have been built additional apartment houses for 3,000 inhabitants.
Biggest Finnish building project in year 2000.
Total floor area 16 ha (= 30 football fields).
Architect:
Mauri Tommila / Arkkitehdit Tommila Oy
Tommila wants to call Big Apple a city center. The idea was to create a living center by combining shops, restaurants, cinemas, etc. with apartments, there will be life also after shop closing time and on sundays.
The building frame is made of steel and concrete, in site cast elevator shafts, prefab concrete elements (biggest columns weights 40 tons), hollow core slabs, steel columns and steel beams. Wave height of roof is 4 m. Because of the concrete TRY (The Finnish Steel Structure Association) will not include Big Apple in the forthcoming book. The mix of materials (Tommila: modern material use) will exclude most potential awards, but there are great opportunities that Big Apple will receive the Building Project of the Year, because of the huge planning work (at the peak 580 building workers and a total of 200 different contracts).
