47 Rooms is FKAA’s shortlisted proposal for the new Guggenheim Helsinki international design competition. The proposal acknowledges Helsinki’s interiority and presents a multiplicity of chambers and climatic conditions using the architectural technologies that construct this interior citizenry, providing singular and ever-changing experiences by opening and closing doors to different climates. The proposal extends the logic through which Helsinki’s population already tempers their more intimate public spaces. Imitating the logic of the Sauna, each room’s final climatic conditions include certain degree of negotiation between the institution and its visitors.
The 47 Rooms publication furthered the architectural concept by presenting a different ambience on each spread, avoiding many of the familiar tropes of architectural representation, and by being burned in order to represent the importance of temperature contrasts and atmospheres inside of the building.
The Make Known exhibition features the work of artists and designers who engage with invisible or imperceptible phenomena such as atmospheric conditions, patterns of occupation and inhabitation, ground stability and fluctuations of ground water, movement, energy flows, fluid dynamics and biological systems. The search and discovery of an emergent order in this phenomenon presents a unique insight into ways of apprehending and shaping the world.
