This proposal for the Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki highlights the relationship between art and architecture through the "NEST" form inspired on the piece "Sleeping-bird" from the designer Timo Sarpaneva. The design process had as a starting point the international constellation network of the Guggenheim Museums. It was extremely important to emphasize the interconnection between the Guggenheim Musems: NewYork, Bilbao, Venice and Abu Dhabi. Using a geometric process several meridians (by Google-Earth) were delineated departing from the existing locations converging into a unique "G/H-POINT" (Guggenheim Helsinki - Point), symbolically represented by the vertical Wind-Tower.

The project is an Open Art Box of Art and Architecture...
