Our zero carbon proposal for the Helsinki Library has won an AIA NextLA Honor Award for “exhibiting conceptual strength while solving critical aesthetic, civic and social concerns as well as environmental performance.” 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.
