Turkeys and Fishes

Last week we did a two-night overnight tour of Tampere and Jyvaskyla. At Tampere, we visited two buildings designed around animal plans. Weird hunh? The first was the Tampere library designed to look like a Metso bird. A sort of small turkey here. You can see the model of the library here.
Then we went to see the Kalevan church which was designed around the shape of a fish. This church is over the top height wise. It was designed in 1953 but not completed until 1966 because it's modern design stired up so much controversy. The area shown in the plan to the left is just one big open volume. The book doesn't say how high it is, although it does answer other, much less obvious questions such as the tones of the three bells in the bell tower (e-g-a).
