The book tells about the history of the chapel and the Otaniemi campus area as well as discusses its international relevance within the context of architectural modernism and human-nature relationship.
The text is in English; the jury report also in Finnish. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, architectural drawings and other visual material.
