Working together with Dieter Bogner, the Parisian architects Moreau Kusunoki won the international architecture competition for the Guggenheim Museum planned for Helsinki. In a two-phase competition, the jury chose the project “Art in the City” from among 1,715 submissions. This was the first competition of its kind to attract this number of project entries. Only six offices were invited to the second competition phase, for which participants had to design a specified special exhibition as well as a comprehensive exhibition for the planned exhibition rooms, conceived from the ressources of the collections of the Guggenheim Museum.
Dieter Bogner supported the architects in terms of expert museological planning. It is the fourth museum project that bogner.cc won together with young teams of architects over the last few years.
Project team from l. to r.: Jan Wurm (Arup, Berlin), Nicolas Moreau, Hiroko Kusunoki, Sammy Vormus (Moreau Kusunoki Architectes, Paris), Dieter Bogner
