The Guggenheim Museum has chosen six finalists in the competition to design its planned Helsinki outpost. The museum announced the six names at a press conference in Helsinki this morning. It also released six sets of renderings, but kept the names and the images apart, noting that “under EU procurement rules the concepts must remain anonymous until the competition concludes.” The finalists will now refine their schemes, with a March deadline; the museum expects to announce its selection in June.
The six schemes range from “a ring of slender, sculptural towers faced with timber shingles, gathered around a cathedral-like central space” to a two-story building draped in “an intelligent glass wrapper.”
