Maritime Centre Vellamo
A giant wave appears to rise 30 m from the waterfront in Kotka, southeastern Finland. Set in the area that has been the heart of the town since the 1870s, this is Maritime Centre Vellamo, a dominating steel structure with a multi-coloured surface that reflects and changes with the light.

Water Towers
Haninge is a municipality about 40 kilometres south of Stockholm (Sweden) which consists of over 3,600 inhabited and uninhabited islands. Previously an industrial area, the area is undergoing a rapid transformation into a residential suburb thanks to its excellent transport links to the centre of Stockholm.

HiLASE
The futuristic HiLASE Centre in the Czech village of Dolní Brežany, to the west of Prague, has been built to house the DiPOLE, a diode-pumped solid state laser (DPSSL) developed to help scientists expand the use of laser technology, and which its Anglo-Czech owners hope will justify a €33m (£24m) investment from the European Commission.
