GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
The skyline of the Guggenheim Museum Helsinki is inspired by the history of Finland and the petals of the Lotus. From across 1715 entries in this international competition, we were shortlisted as one of the unique 50 by ArchDaily and the top 100 by Architects Journal. This innovative museum emphasizes the connection between Helsinki’s identity and its historic city center, resulting in an iconic building. An impressive atrium welcomes visitors, offers breathtaking views, and makes it possible to display large exhibitions. Moreover, the important relation between museum, park and waterfront is preserved.
The Museum building concept has been evolved from lotus petals that encircle the structure and merge with the surroundings. The site being on the banks of water further elevates the structure petals. With each color denoting its presence and significance, the color palettes provide a gradual flow of hues across the building. Grey is employed as a base color for site development and permeates the structure's floor. The pink-hued glazing of the building provides transparency and energy efficiency while also changing color in response to the Sun's movement. The white color conveys a message of peace to the entire world while also showing the progress of the nation of "Finland" over time.
The Museum’s multipurpose activities were designed in harmony which was visually connected to the visitor/spectator. The floor's design and shape changed as one ascended. The organic shape structure of the Museum is intended to serve as a striking beacon in the port. At the same time, they connect the exhibition rooms to the waterfront in a consistent manner and join up with the local topography.
The exterior facade has a three-layered responsive facade using photochromic glass on top, photovoltaic glass in the middle, and hexagonal metal kinetic solar collectors on the bottom. The responsive facade is intended to produce power and space heating by utilizing the sun's dual energy—light and heat.
This museum develops exhibition rooms that are adaptive to changing circumstances and versatile for the future. Its innovative nature is expressed in a distinctive museum idea that includes components like an art laboratory, low energy usage, and the use of new media. All these aspects make it the progressive and distinctive Guggenheim Helsinki museum of the 21st century.
