The competition for the new museum of architecture and design in Helsinki, Finland was seeking a design for a globally unique museum building that redefines Helsinki as a destination for architecture, design, arts, and culture. The design for the new museum, located in Helsinki’s South Harbour, was selected through an open, international and anonymous competition, held in two stages.

The competition was organised by Real Estate Company ADM – an entity owned by the City of Helsinki and the Finnish state – together with the Foundation for the Finnish Museum of Architecture and Design, and in cooperation with the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA and the City of Helsinki.
‍
The competition was held in English.

_______________________________

According to the jury’s final minutes, the representatives of the Finnish Association of Architects on the jury, architects Sari Nieminen and Hannu Tikka, did not approve of the awarding of honorable mentions to the proposals Telescope (70) and Re (251) and expressed their dissenting opinion in this regard. Both entries are strongly against the definitions of the competition brief.
