Which architect designed the Guggenheim Museum Helsinki proposal?

Moreau Kusunoki Architectes designed the winning Guggenheim Museum Helsinki proposal.

The Paris-based firm won the international architectural competition in 2015 with a proposal called Art in the City. The design envisioned a group of timber-clad pavilions connected by public spaces and placed near Helsinki’s South Harbour.

The proposed museum would have been a new Guggenheim institution in Finland, but the project did not proceed. Helsinki City Council rejected the funding proposal in 2016, so the winning design remained an unrealized architectural plan.

The project is often confused with Guggenheim buildings that were completed, especially Bilbao and New York. Moreau Kusunoki Architectes is the name of the firm behind the competition-winning Helsinki proposal, not the architect of any operating Guggenheim museum.
