RELATION TO THE INMEDIATE INDUSTRIAL CONTEXT OF ETELÄSATAMA

The building acquires a lineal proportion in respose to the site and shape of the terrain itself. The

opportunity of propitiating city design, as the longest facades facing the ocean and the street, makes the

Guggenheim Museum not only a space for exhibition within but a company in peoples gaits, both by land or sea.

PROPOSAL EVOKES VERNACULAR FINNISH ARCHITECTURE WITH AN INDUSTRIAL TWIST

Learning from practical and accurate responses given over time by local builders, not necessarily architects,

has always been the most effective way to understand contextual and timeless architecture.Transgressing a typical roof gable to make it into an isosceles triagular prism, and repeating and causing

a rythmic structure that works as an industrial ship.

SENSE OF PUBLIC SPACE APPROPIATION

When Architecture is completely responsive to the site and the people who will live it everyday, takes a form

and is determined based on systems and materials that will not alienate the site and location.

Also providing museum outdoor activities in benefit of the city cultural life.

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM EXHIBITION LEVELS 1-3

1:500

The museum tour starts accessing the visitor in the ground floor level, solved in triple height space that fully connects visually to the surroundings, to the left, the sea, to the right, the city of Helsinki.The visitor enters through a passage so tightened that, when fully accessing the volume of two hundred meter depth, aims to provide a surprising experience of being inside this volumetric massiveness solved in wood and steel, that evokes the feeling of being inside the shell of a boat.

The visitor then goes to the third level where the exhibition is placed in a lineal disposition; the upper galleries are in the closest proximity to the ridge; circulation is proposed in a downward direction.

Transiting to the galleries on the second and firstlevel, the tour now dissolves and breaks of its lineal frankness traveling through the slipped boxes containing art.

The tour ends down a ladder which returns to the ground floor exiting through the retail store.

SKIN.

A sloped roof is the natural response to places where it snows or rains heavily. Taking this idea to the extreme, the

project solves a gable roof that will not accumulate snow nor water and is bordered by water bodies.

The skin of the building is primarily a wood-based structure, an abundant natural resource in Finland; It is 100%

renewable, and, of all possible materials in construction, has the lowest carbon footprint along its lifetime.

A double glazed facade encloses the roof; glass, although it is a material that does not conduct heat, can capture most of natural lighting; due to the inclination of the facades, and increased insolation occurs in the interior spaces.

ENCAPSULATED SPACES

The museum galleries are proposed as boxes inserted into the triangular volume; in a game of slipping the boxes and

achieving multiple heights, the spaces achieved allow capturing cenital lighting; the boxes are opened and closed

on the sides causing the visitor transit between spaces of each gallery and the feeling of being inside this massive volumetric experience. This openings in the boxes could synchronized with openings in the building skin, to obtain

crossed controlled ventilation from the prevailing winds from the sea.

As the gallleries are solved in the heart of the volume, they are thought to be spaces isolated and protected by the layering of the building, reducing the most the use of artificial climate control.

OPEN PLAN BUILDING

The ground floor is proposed as a large space, on which the boxes containing galleries float above, hanging of the main

structure; a triple height of 9.15m is the feeling to the museum entering, also the great elongation produced in the

longitudinal direction by the building itself.

The Lower Level, bordered by landscape elements introduced , summarized in bodies of water, which will capture

and retain rainwater and runoff from the roof, and landscape areas that should be irrigated by the water stored in site. Innovative technologies for water management inside the building should be applied.

SKIN.

Wood + Steel reinforcement system on a 3.05 x 3.05 grid to

maximize utilization of wood. Double glazed facade to capture

natural lighting andi ncreased isolation.

GALLERY BOXES

Precast concrete walls with thermal insulation layering to reduce

to the minimum possible the use of artificial climate systems.

0 GROUND LEVEL EXTENSIVE TO THE SURROINDINGS

Ground Level can be described as an open plan building, not only

in the spaces inside the triangular skin, but the surronundings

become an escential characteristic of the sustainable master

plan design.

TOURING THE MUSEUM

By causing a downward path, the visitor is offered to minimeze the

use of mechanical means; the museum can be toured completely

free of automated mechanisms.

Restaurant roof becomes transitable, an extension of the outdoor

space exhibition program; maximization of the built spaces.

Natural lighting is induced into the exhibition spaces through the

skin of the building,

Borderd by water bodies that recollect and store water to provide

the landscaped areas with constant watering; also this water

could be utilized for the building appliances as well.
