Finland’s New Museum of Architecture and Design

About

In the international competition for the new Finnish Museum of Architecture and Design, five of the 624 anonymously submitted schemes have been shortlisted for the second phase. They are: 96 Tyrsky, 351 Kumma, 486 Moby, 545 Tau, and 616 City, Sky and Sea. Sustainability is the key factor in all. Each of the five design teams receives 50,000 euros and the opportunity to perfect its proposal for the 10,050-square-meter museum, which must pay close attention to achieving low carbon emissions and incorporating circular-economy principles. A winner will be announced in September 2025. The jury will then give three money prizes: 50,000 euros, 35,000 euros, and 25,000 for first, second, and third places.
