Helsinki Library by Djuric+Tardio Architectes, Helsinki, Finland
Rooted in the country’s long tradition of wood architecture, the Helsinki Library proposal by Djuric+Tardio Architectes is a tripartite wooden organism, housing 3 different areas: the lobby and the multi-purpose program, the library, and the cinema and exhibition space. The project reexamines the experience of reading, a return to books as sources of knowledge, combining at the same time print and electronic media and devices.
