Summary

Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation (SRGF) is planning to undertake the construction of a new Guggenheim museum in Helsinki, Finland.

The project involves the construction of a 13,000m2 museum. It includes the construction of an exhibition building, an administrative building, a concert hall, visitor’s space, parking and related facilities, and the installation of safety and security systems.

In October 2013, SRGF held public consultations.

On June 4, 2014, SRGF along with HCC and Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA) held architectural competition managed by Malcolm Reading Consultants (MRC) to appoint an architect.

The design competition will be conducted in two stages. The submission for stage one of the competition is due on September 10, 2014.
