Architecture-Helsinki Main Library
Description
The Helsinki University Main Library in Kaisa House was the most ambitious project of the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012, and it has shaped both the cityscape and the city’s services. The new library building complements the urban block by adding a curved brick facade, integrated within the street line formed by the adjacent buildings. The dense fenestration grid, together with the large arched openings give the library a distinct external appearance. The building represents award-winning Finnish architecture.
