HELSINKI LIBRARY INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

Situated in one Helsinki’s most prominent sites, next to cultural, political, and architectural icons, The Central Library building becomes a centre piece in an area of growing activity. Specially for this reason, we envision this proposal to be a gift, a welcoming gesture, that through its serene presence will allow the life and activities to define the building and it’s place in the city. Using the special natural light conditions in Finland and the changing seasons, this building aims to draw itself in the urban context, becoming a link between city and nature and allow the user to feel welcomed.
