Intervening and investing in a place like Helsinki, a city that has no major shortages nor structural problems, means that we have to be able to produce pure added value, pure improvement. This, on the other hand is always possible. Ar-chitecture is capable of adding value into successful cities by adding more dyna-mism to the city and enriching the life of its citizens; also when it helps to intensify economic flows and tourism, when it preserves and modulates its landscape; when it improves the transmissibility of its image to the rest of the world and of course, when it is able to represent and symbolize cultural values shared by its citizens and institutions.
The new building we propose for this Guggenheim Helsinki museum is, above all, a new powerful infrastructure for the city of Helsinki.
In the first place, it is of course a stunning cultural infrastructure; A place that will bring into the city of Helsinki world class exhibitions from the Guggenheim foun-dation and also its own curatorial projects. A building that is spatially conceived from its exhibition space: Two clear and light-filled rooms that offer the size and flexibility that contemporary art requires, in a unique interior atmosphere. The building solves the circulations and the distribution of the program in a simple way, giving architectural prominence to the exhibition space, the lobby and the restaurant while fitting the office space and the storage into more conventional spatial clusters.
But this building is also conceived as a powerful and innovative infrastructure for using and activating the public space that surrounds it. The building features a system of illumination and radiant heating embedded in its exterior skin. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that its enclosure is a system of radiant heating and lighting. This way, the city adjacent to the building will have light and ther-mal conditioning. This will make possible to use this exterior space for activities and events of the museum and the restaurant. But also, it offers the possibility of a more intensive and spontaneous use of this public space when it is dark and cold. Radiant heating system consists of a series of biomass burners and a network of low temperature hot water pipes embedded in a system of architectural fins of lightweight concrete and plaster finished in aluminum. The burners are visible from the museums plaza so as the water piping and the smoky chimneys of each burner. The building is finished with a highly resistant glass fiber reinforced wood-en exterior cladding made of single curvature plywood panels and glass fiber. The visibility of the heating and lighting system as intrinsic to the building and to the effects on the activation of its surroundings in the wider context of the city constitute the main architectural contribution that this proposal offers to the city of Helsinki and to the Guggenheim foundation.
The building will stand as the representation of an improvement for the city.
