Sara Hildén Contemporary Art Museum

Tampere, Finland
“Much bending breaks the bow; much unbending the mind.” - Francis Bacon

Art moves us beyond our primal needs. It provokes thought, emotion and countless interpretations, reinventing itself with each viewer. Our proposed design for the international competition for the new Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland, is the embodiment of human relationship to art: a thoughtful architectural provocation with many layers and peels of exploration.
