FINAL DESIGNS FOR HELSINKI GUGGENHEIM SUBMITTED

摘要

The six final designs for Helsinki's new £100 million Guggenheim museum have been revealed. The fully developed schemes have gone on show at the Kunstalle Helsinki in Finland as part of a public exhibition ahead of the jury's decision in June. The finalists, which include emerging UK star Asif Khan, have refined their designs for the 12,000m~2 art gallery in response to feedbackfrom the jury and an in depth briefing held in the Finnish capital in January. London-based Khan, who is best known for his London 2012 Coca-Cola Beatbox Pavilion and the MegaFaces pavilion at the Sochi Winter Olympics, is up against five other practices from across the globe, including Zurich and Los Angeles-based AGPS Architecture; Fake Industries Architectural Agonism of New York, Barcelona and Sydney; Moreau Kusunoki from Paris; Haas Cook Zemmrich STUDIO2050 from Germany; and SMAR Architecture Studio of Spain and Western Australia.
