Kiasma, Modern art museum building in Kluuvi, Finland.
The Kiasma Museum features intersecting volumes with curved walls, natural light filtration through translucent glazing, and a reflecting pool along its western side.
The design competition for Kiasma took place in 1992, with Steven Holl's proposal selected from 515 entries before the museum opened to the public in 1998.
The museum exhibits contemporary artworks from Finnish and international artists across multiple levels, connecting through curving ramps that create varied spatial experiences.
The building contains galleries with curved walls, a restaurant, educational spaces, and large windows that maintain a connection with the surrounding urban environment.
The structure integrates with Helsinki's urban grid through its positioning between Parliament House, Helsinki Station, and Finlandia Hall, while facing Töölö Bay.
