Following the release of the Guggenheim Helsinki shortlist in - TopicsExpress

Following the release of the Guggenheim Helsinki shortlist in early December (ow.ly/FVnWv), PAR has released their submission to the competition. The team explains: In Helsinki, together with Arup, we developed a gathering of eight soft volumes of varying sizes and undulating heights that reflect the surroundings while creating a porous urban condition. The pavilions lightly intersect with one another leading to a central plaza and a collection of exhibition spaces and public gardens. The resulting 12,100 sq m Guggenheim Museum is a transparent and light building, clustered between the city and the water, immediately visible from the sea.
