Helsinki,
the
Gulf
of
Finland,
is
the
city
surrounded
by
the
Baltic
Sea.
The
location
of
design
site
is
along
side
of
the
road
facing
to
her.
Its
location
is
quite
influential
to
bring
the
newness
of
the
city
for
the
visitors
and
even
residents.
The
cityscape
drawn
across
the
Baltic
sea
becomes
a
major
form
to
represent
history
of
the
town
and
growth.
It
made
a
unique
characteristic
of
the
city
of
Helsinki.
The
site
located
near
the
sea
would
continue
to
express
this
water
as
an
element of the form.
Green
area
brings
comfort
to
people
to
take
advantage
from
the
natural
environment.
It
also
leads
people
to
direct
their
destinations.
The
new
museum
brings
this
elements
into
a
major
form
of
the
building.
So,
the
beauty
of
elevation
reinforces
continuous green network to the city.
People’s
movement
toward
the
Baltic
sea
would
face
the
elevation
of
the
buildings
lines.
One
is
from
the
East
of
the
design
site.
The
other
is
from
the
west.
Elevation
of
building
is
continued
from
Tahititornin
Park.
Elevation
developed
from
the
tree
becomes
a
part
of
design
elements
of
the new museum.

When

so
do
the
city
and
people in it. In this regard, we propose a new building on the site to continue to bring this excitement.
We
intend
the
form
naturally
to
be
generated
from
melting
ice
on
the
sea
as
structure
elements.
The
elevation
line
that
has
been
drawn
by
trees
on
the
park
becomes
an
architectural
enclosure.
We
imagine
planting
a
native seed on the site. It will grow and become a fine medium to connect the sea and the park.
We
believe
the
interpretation
that
is
made
from
this
context
shall
recall
nostalgia
that
people
would
see
this
new
architecture
as
a
nature
that
is
not
a
foreign
but
a
native
one.
Once
it
is
only
a
seed
and
now
it
will
be
a
grown plant as a part of the cityscape where it has always been.

Sustainable /Feasibility Design
1. General Use of Stainless Steel
Frame at exterior frame.
2. Building enclosed area with
Insulated Glass Lamination at
Lobby area : Use of daylighting.
3. Use of Kalwall system for other
area such as galleries and office walls.
- LEED® certifed : Use of daylighting.
4. Use of Finnish wood at Wooden
Frame wall for Sound Absorption
and Warm Interior Mood.
5. Finnish wood has been extensively used for interior walls and floors in addition to the panels of surface walls. Use of wood is for acoustic
of interior space to absorb sounds from the interior since it is split into pieces not to reflect the sound coming from interior space. Thus, it
gives visitors feeling walking on a forest. Warm and brightly lit area from indirect sun light.
Through the interstitial space (1.5M.) underneath of the 1st floor, the mechanical duct to be distributed in order to minimized energy loss
and it shortens duct distances to serve individually controlled rooms.
Efficient Air Ventilation
Use of Finish Wood
Security Check Points
The main entrance gate has been located to centralize all access for visitors. Staff access and VIP access
from separated bike station area also need to pass through this check in point. Loading and Unloading
area should be considered as a separate security point to allow artifacts and other works to be securely
transported into the museum.
LINK BRIDGE FROM THE TAHITITORNIN VUORI PARK TO THE MUSEUM
The park bridge connection has been in a consideration to have further development. The proposed form
of roof top will bring public from the existing park to the new opened restaurant at the north of the
museum as well as it will provide the view to the sea to the public. Its connection is to be further developed
according to the stage of this proposal.
In order to provide comfortable and less interrupted open space at the plaza, the form of building is
situated along side the site from the south to the north to minimize strong wind coming from the Baltic
sea. People have less disturbance or discomfort to use of common space outside.
WINTER SEASON
Helsinki winter arrives in December and finishes in February and often Helsinki experiences heavy snowfall
due to its northern location. Its design to incorporate this climatic condition is critical aspect for the new
museum. Due to its snow fall, overall roof design has its enough slope to avoid heavy weighed roof
structure occurred by snow.
