☉ Sara Hilden Museum is a proposal by Ignacio Boscolo and unasstudio for Sara Hilden Foundation and City of Tampere in 2021. It is located in Tampere Finland in a park and urban setting. Its scale is medium with a surface of 6.100 sqm a budget of 50.000.000 € and a ratio of 8.197 €/sqm. Key materials are brick and concrete. Pavel Babienko collaborated as visualizer. Review the 10 proposals for the same competition.
A unique architectural gesture, almost sculptural, redefines the industrial district around and the park where it floats, creating a new vivid place for interaction between people and art. The new museum states a clear contradiction between its two main spaces: an open public ground floor that serves as connector between the park and the historical surrounding, and a large enclosed volume that accommodates a big range in scales of flexible exhibition spaces.
