Our zero carbon proposal for the Helsinki Library has won an AIA New York Merit Award for its “scenographic magnificence that is technically and environmentally convincing” according to AIA jury. Developed in collaboration with ARUP, we reinterpret the oculus of the Pantheon when designing a high performance facade for the challenging Finnish climate. The concave building geometry amplifies daylight while rooflines are optimized for snow recycling. ArchDaily covers the project.

Award Ceremony: Cipriani, Apr 17, 2013
Exhibition: Center for Architecture, New York, US
Schedule: Apr 18 – May 31, 2013
