Today the Guggenheim announced the six finalist designs culled from the
1,715 stage-one submissions in its two-stage
open design competition for a branch museum in Helsinki, Finland. Following EU procurement rules, the architects in the competition remain anonymous (having used 8-10-digit numbers), even though the finalist teams have been announced:
- AGPS Architecture Ltd. (Zurich, Switzerland and Los Angeles, United States of America)
- Asif Khan Ltd. (London, United Kingdom)
- Fake Industries Architectural Agonism (New York, United States of America; Barcelona, Spain; and Sydney, Australia)
- Haas Cook Zemmrich STUDIO2050 (Stuttgart, Germany)
- Moreau Kusunoki Architect (Paris, France)
- SMAR Architecture Studio (Madrid, Spain and Western Australia)
Therefore, while images and descriptions for the
finalists' designs are available, it's not clear which architect is responsible for which scheme, a fact that will remain in place until June 2015 when the winner is announced. Nevertheless, like the Nobel Center competition last year, this seems like a good excuse to have some fun and take a guess. It should be particularly fun since the names in this list are not as well known – and therefore their work not as evident – as those in the
Nobel Center matching game. So which architect goes with which proposal?

If you care to guess, please leave a comment below with a list matching the architects (numbers) with the proposals (letters), e.g. 1A, 2B, etc. To take a more educated guess, click the links of the architects and the proposals above to get more information than just a name and one rendering.
