link-it is a schematic design proposal for a mixed program
cultural building on a central site in Helsinki. The programmatic and
conceptual proposal was designed by Kivi Sotamaa in Collaboration with
Antti Ahlava and the schematic building design was conceived by Kivi
Sotamaa and his OSU design studio group. The link-it building would
include the art and technology research galleries, Helsinki city
library, non profit cultural organisations, film archives, event spaces,
theaters and s design hotel. The project was made public in Helsingin
Sanomat 2005. At the moment the city is planning an interational
architecture competition on the site of our proposal for the Helsinki
City Library.
