Internally the museum is organized around a central public core that efficiently organizes a majority of the program and increases the potential for vistas through adjacent programs and to the site beyond. This core contains the main atrium where guests will find Visitor Services with views back to the port, providing an orientation within the site. The main atrium can be reached through multiple entrances, which begin the smooth transition from exterior to interior space. Visitors arrive at the main entrance from the vehicular drop-off along the northern edge defined by Eteläinen Makasiinikatu. From there they travel up a gentle slope where they are visually connected to the Museum Gift Shop and to the Café along the water’s edge, both of which can be accessed from the ground floor. This procession from the ground up to the newly elevated landscape situates one within the heart of the building. Another entrance connects Tähtitornin vuori park from the west via a bridge across Laivasillankatu to an elevated sculpture plaza, conceptually extending the new art landscape into the existing park. This plaza can also be reached via a grand stair from the new pedestrian/bike path along Laivasillankatu. The plaza provides opportunity for sculptures to be viewed prior to ticketing and provides new outdoor opportunities for events within the site. The final entrance faces east and connects the port terminal along a new boardwalk where visitors would have the option to gently walk up to the upper level or to continue on the quay to the north, passing the café and several galleries along the way. The southern part of the building houses the majority of the galleries, which are accessed via a circulation through a series of smaller atria that dissolve the interior and exterior thresholds. This proposal articulates a new model for integrated, sustainable urban development.
