Sergio GONZÁLEZ, Luis MUÑIZ, Stephan SOBL, & Giacomo TINARI: The gentle slope of the Makasiinipuisto park promenade leads to the heart of the design, an eighteen meter high glass roofed central courtyard; the green lung. Connecting to all major program areas and behaving as a pedestrian distributor the courtyard and hanging gardens elude to a lively urban piazza . The children’s space, offices, workrooms and restaurants reside to the north of the green lung. While on the southern end is the library, illuminated through a system of skylights and redirection lighting systems.

Synthetiques & minus Architecture studio {MAS}: Libraries are increasingly the places in which culture is produced, collected and disseminated. The Ambient Exchange promotes a culture of collaboration, creative inquiry and community engagement through provision of functional and exuberant spaces that engage the strong social and craft-oriented traditions of the Finnish built environment.
