		Pitkänen’s later religious architecture includes the accommodation buildings for the Turku Christian Academy (1973), a pillar-and-beam structure with right-angled prisms, and the extension to Turku cemetery (1964–83), which creates a unified landscape with the foreground of the Chapel of the Holy Cross.
