amos rex

in finald’s capital helsinki, the JKMM architects-designed ‘amos rex’ is an underground art museum which transforms the city’s public space into an undulating landscape. the contemporary architecture of the museum serves as an extension to the landmark 1930’s lasipalatsi building, refurbished as part of the project. 13,000 cubic meters of rock had been excavated from beneath the city’s lasipalatsi square to shape the museum’s main gallery space, topped with a series of domes and skylights which form the new urban landscape.
