Following is a short description of the Institute from the project brief. The challenge is to design a cross-cultural building designed around open working relationships.
"The task is to design new premises for the Finnish Institute, which is currently situated in London. the task is to design a building which works as a link between cultures. The ethos of the Finnish Institute is rooted into Nordic values of equality and open society, where parties meet with no hidden agendas for the benefit of all. Everyone's contribution is needed; hence old ideas are used in harmony with new.
The Institute is not like an embassy with a specific representative role, but rather an operator or a sensitive mediator to enable the emergency of the fertile interchange"
