Guggenheim Museum Helsinki_ the hanging gardens
The reference for the new Guggenheim Helsinki is one of the world-wonders, the hanging gardens of Babylon. A synthesis of the urban grid of Helsinki and the nearby park with its topography. 5 cubes with accesable green roofs show a fantastic waterfront elevation, an unique landmark, the new symbol of Helsinki.
A green path connects the historic city center with the harbor, the museum and the park. The whole museums complex is open and accessible with its differ-ent levels connected to an exciting topography. Pedestrian routes over the whole building and the promenade offer a wide range of activities. Such as a sculpture garden, a rooftop bar and restaurant with great view, an openair auditorium and much more.Built with wood and natural stone and all that green it’s a symbol for environmental consciousness and sustainability, for a green world.
