Cityscape: The site is located among one of the most powerful cultural, social, public, hubs of helsinki. The immediate context, the tahititornin vuori park, being one of the major magnet, is connected to the site over the laivasillankatu. The museum roof is raise is a little up so as to take advantage of the major views of the bay area and the city ahead. The accesses from the market hall, esplanadi is tapped. Thus, activities from the museum, like the art festival, art workshops, etc would be allowed to spill on to the context and the activities of the city like food festival, cultural festivals, etc would be spilled on to the museum. Thus, CONNECTING THE MUSEUM TO THE CITY.
Architecture: The architecture of the museum is conceptualised as an art cave. A single shell roof over all the spaces would create cave like spaces beneath and an open space at the top connecting informally to the city.
Sustainability: The art cave would be like a rustic space, with exposed concrete with patches of colours somewhere or the other; and finish wooden logs would be used for supporting the shell. Building integrated photovoltaics and wind turbines are used to cater to the museum’s power needs. Waste water is being recycled and used for gardening purposes.
