Located at the heart of the Otaniemi campus, the building forms part of the distinctive campus view toward the Alvar Aalto-designed Undergraduate Center. Debombourg's \"In Motion\" draws inspiration from the effects of light reflecting off the sea waves onto architecture and landscapes. Positioned at a busy crossroads where pedestrians, cars, trams, and the nearby sea all converge, the building provided a unique opportunity for Debombourg to explore these dynamic interactions. The mirror-polished stainless steel, undulated to create a wave-like form, interacts with the surrounding light and movement, amplifying the natural flow of its environment. The installation transforms the building\u2019s appearance depending on the time of day and light intensity, making it a captivating sight even in low light.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
