MUSEUM 21
The museum of the 21st century is open instead of hermetical, extroverted instead of introverted, dynamic instead of static, unpretentious instead of elitist, participation instead of pure consumption.
CITY / PALACE 21
The palaces of the 21st century are 'CATHEDRALS OF CITY LIFE' - from museum to market hall. Mixed culture instead of monoculture. The city and its variety of players as integral and active part.
GUGGENHEIM HELSINKI
It's not a self-staging of the museum respectively the brand Guggenheim which 'forms' the palace, but it is PUBLIC SPACE.
PUBLIC SPACE
as integral component of the MUSEUM 21
PUBLIC SPACE
relating to climatic conditions. Quality of stay and usability. South versus North. Barcelona versus Helsinki. Darkness, coldness, snow in winter as well as high brollability during the summer season make public (outdoor)space in Helsinki rarely usable.
PUBLIC SPACE
as indispensable INTERFACE 'MUSEUM-CITY' is generated by means of BUILT SPACE.
