The Main Library at Helsinki University, 2012

Located in the historical center of the city, the building

houses the largest academic library in Finland. Built

above the basement of the old library, the concrete

structure is coated with materials typical of the dense

environment gradually developed since the 1930’s.

Within that, the opposite arc at the front reflects the

spirit of the times, whereby planners can challenge

traditional construction rules, thus symbolizing the new

building in its capacity as a data center.

Natural light penetration is reinforced by skylights,

acting as a central design factor.
