I just thought this tower was awesome. It was designed by a student (I’m assuming the student’s name was “Hara”) from the Helsinki University of Technology, and built by a group of eight architecture students. There’s an interesting lookout from the top because it sits on the edge of the Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki, Finland.

The structure and all of the decking is made of wood, and the structure is fastened together with some 600 bolts.
