For the new Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki, we focused on making a museum that would be transformative. The site characterized by its proximity to the waterfront setting and Tahititornin Park. Our concept focuses on creating an extension of a park towards to the waterfront by introducing a three-dimensional green landscape is enjoyed all year round. It provides a centralized space for people to enjoy and stroll around in various ways while allowing accessibility to art, performance and exhibition programs of the museum.
The free zone is called the “green passage,” and the image is a flourishing lush and beautiful green environment created by both passive and active techniques, architecture that features fully glazed walls and roof, engineered wood structures, living walls, and a green roof. It is a space that can build a community for strong interaction between art and the public by essentially creating a “living” space that purifies the air you breathe while making a more sustainable environment. It will enliven and give a much-needed amenity in Helsinki’s long winters. Guggenheim Helsinki Museum will be an active forum, a deep social space to redefine museums in the future.
