Description
Summary:Lahteenmaki talks about the Helsinki Guggenheim competition, an open architectural competition for a new art museum in the Finnish capital. He tells that the central Helsinki site gives the building a real chance to change the urban beat of the city--back towards Engel's original vision in conversion with Aalto's masterly masterplan. However, he argues that to achieve this the design needs not only to seduce the jury, but the politics too.
