BIRD’S EYE VIEW
Urban strategy & Circulation: Knitting the City, the Park and the HarborUrbanistically, the building acts as a “pivot point” between Tahiti-tornin Vuori Park to the West, the South Harbor basin to the East, and the city with its Esplanadi Esplanadparken to the North. Each of the three urban linkages is expressed through a series of curved
tight footprint of the site. An interior circulation system - the lobby canyon - connects park, harbor, and city. The lobby canyon is the circulatory “promenade” of the Guggenheim Helsinki. It is the place to meet or enjoy a cafe - immersed in art and Nordic architecture.

Museum Experience: A Grand Interior Civic Space for HelsinkiThe Guggenheim Helsinki is designed to maximize public interaction. The lobby canyon is a true public space and can be entered from three sides without buying a ticket. The museum store, cafeteria and restaurant, the center project space, as well as the auditorium become part of Helsinki’s public (and free) urban infrastructure. The galleries can be visited after purchasing a ticked and entering the visitor screening and bag check area. The interior of the galleries is functional and flexible, with architectural emphasis placed on key moments such as the double height galleries, balcony views into the canyon, or view to the park and harbor.

Massing & Program: Catenary Art WarehouseThe flat horizontal elevation of the museum is a reference to the existing warehouse typology along the South Harbor waterfront. The characteristic catenary shape of the roof and facade elevations emphasizes the public and programmatically distinguished character of the museum. From an urban point of view, the massing is simple, yet distinctive. Programmatically, the building is characterized by three main functional zones. The northwest volume houses program and event spaces as well as museum administration, the northeast volume contains the museum store and restaurant, and the larger southern volume contains all gallery exhibition spaces and supportive functional spaces.

Guggenheim Brand & Helsinki: Nordic ExperiencesHelsinki is a city of subtle, yet powerful experiences. The elements (light, wind, darkness, the seasons, the sunset, the cold, the warmth of the sun, the sound when walking on snow on a cold night) are more present in Helsinki than in other Guggenheim locations. We aim to build a building which embodies these subtleties of Helsinki into a piece of architecture. A building which does not aim to be memorable because it de nes itself as iconic, heroic, or spectacular but is characterized as simple and experiential.

Feasibility + ScheduleThe bottleneck site along the South Harbor Basin provides a challenge regarding the urban circulation system for vehicles and pedestrians alike. Access to the harbor is provided on a road along the western edge of the site. Taking into account consider-ations regarding the given budget and expected overall building cost, the proposal abstains from including a basement. This results in a compact ground floor plan, allowing for an ef cient museum layout. The museum is a two story building with a large span tensile roof structure. All components can be pre-fabricated in steel and concrete, allowing for an expedited assembly and construction schedule. The high degree of prefabrication allows for high cost security and accurate building cost estimates.
Helsinki’s climatic conditions are addressed with sandwich facade and roof panels with a layer of high ef ciency insulation. Materials such as concrete and interior wood cladding have excellent lifecycle properties. New construction techniques will help reduce embedded CO2 emissions. The compact shape of the building allows for low operational costs.
SustainabilityThe Guggenheim Helsinki is designed to meet the LEED Platinum Standard. The building is con gured to reduce environmental impact on multiple levels: A smart and compact building shape as well as advanced insulation and heating/cooling technology minimizes the demand for cooling and heating. Passive ventilation systems and passive thermal mass activation further reduc-es heating and cooling loads. The catenary roof acts as a large water collector - grey water can be used for toilets and irrigation. Solar panels will be integrated on appropriate roof slopes to reduce the need for electricity from the city grid. Smart sensors on the interior measure daylight intensity and adjust the gallery lighting to save energy when natural daylight is suf cient. Internal
nishings are non-toxic, reducing the health impact for staff and visitors.
StructureThe tensile roof structure of the Guggenheim Helsinki results in the building’s idiosyncratic catenary roof geometry. High strength Steel I-Beams with wide bottom flanges act as tensile structural elements. The inclined museum’s exterior walls counteract the tensile forces in the system. The large span enables column free plans on the interior of the museum. The structural system is dimensioned to take heavy snow loads during the winter. The tensile roof structure uses less material than conventional beam systems.

High strength steel works independent of concrete to allow for flexible deformation. Tensile forces provides long span and accomodate snow load.
Concrete shell as a nishing material and re projection. Modular and pre-fabricated.
Skylight provides natural dazlight. Surface of concrete diffuses direct sunlight.
Roof Skylight
The catenary roof acts as a large water collector and the stored grey water is used for toilets and irrigation systems.
Rainwater Collection Channels
Lighting System and Technical Floor: Celing contains lighting system for lower level gallery and act as technical floor for gallery above.
Natural daylight channels and light diffusors. Curved roof geometry with changing ceiling height.
Interior Wood Finish: Doubleheight spaces are cladded in wood to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for larger scale civic spaces.
Double height space for key large installations with views from the 2nd floor gallery space.
Open gallery floor plan allows both modular and free gallery layouts.
Composition of controlled curvature of the exterior wall effectively transfer load from the suspended tensile structure.
