| The City of Helsinki is arranging an open two-stage international architectural competition for the design of a Central Library. The competition looks for a contemporary library design. The aim is to create a vibrant and functionally versatile meeting place, as well as an energy-efficient and architecturally significant building. The Central Library will be located in the very centre of Helsinki, the Toolonlahti [“Toolo Bay”] area, on city block no. 2014 , a site significant in terms of both the cityscape and symbolically [Bing-map service, extract from the base map, urban fabric illustration]. It will be part of a cohesive totality of public buildings together with the Finnish Parliament building, Helsinki Music Centre, Finlandia Hall, Sanoma House and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art. The objective is a high-quality, eco-efficient and timeless building: The building will be an energy-efficient, nearly zero-energy building. In the choice of materials and structural solutions the aim is for material efficiency. The competition looks for a design solution for the Central Library building that: − responds to the challenges set by the cityscape-wise unique location, and adjusts to the urban fabric and blocks of the Töölönlahti area. − is high quality and timeless architecture. − forms a symbolic and architecturally significant building that resonates with society as a whole and expresses the operational concepts of the building in an intriguing way. − offers a functionally high-quality and technically and spatially flexible framework for cutting-edge and adaptable library operations. − is eco-efficient. − is technically and economically feasible.
