Helsinki Central Library Architecture Competition entry Design: Djuric+Tardio Architectes image from architect Helsinki Central Library - 26 Nov 2012 A modern library, as a elementary and great emblem of the Finnish essence, culture and know-how, and result of the most accomplished wooden construction technology. These are the aims that give birth to an unordinary building, voluntarily unaccustomed to the Finnish landscape, in order to lead the user to a trip somewhere else, in the reading time of an exotic novel. Helsinki Central Library Architecture Competition entry Kubota & Bachmann Architects+Martinez image from architect Library Competition Helsinki - 21 Nov 2012 Shared Dreams is a proposal for the new Helsinki Library, sited at a strategic point within the city, the cultural cluster in the Töölönlahti area, with the Helsinki Music Centre, the Aalto congress centre, and the Kiasma contemporary art museum. Office buildings and housing also contribute to urban life around the Makasiinipuisto Park. The new library is committed to strengthening this cluster. Chapel of St.Lawrence, Vantaa, just north of Helsinki Avanto Arkkitehdit Ltd photo : Kuvio.com Chapel of St Lawrence This dedicated cemetery chapel aims to reconcile the emotional needs of mourners with the pragmatic demands of funerals. The building uses similar materials to the old structures in the area and the roof is patinated copper, like the roof of the old church. Many of the ceilings are finished with removable, perforated copper trays. The glazed walls toward the graveyard in the chapels are covered with a patinated copper mesh, which functions as a screen between the outside and the internal spaces of the chapel.
