The international architectural competition for the design of the Helsinki Central Library [...] has announced the entry "Käännös" by Finnish firm ALA Architects as the winning proposal. The jury selected Käännös unanimously and described the entry as "impressive and casually generous."
A Second Prize was not awarded, and the entries ”Liblab” by Playa Architects and "Kasi” by Verstas Architects were awarded a shared Third Prize. Additionally, five Honorable Mentions were awarded.

We visited their office when we lived in Helsinki spring 2012. Its a great group of progressive young architects. Like most contemporary Finnish architecture, their work is highly sensitive, provocative, but modestly understated. Happy to see them win this!
