Name

[edit]

It says

"It is named after the Greek letter "chi" and on the word for "crossing" based on it alluding to the basic conceptual idea of its architect, Steven Holl."

I don't see a mention like that on Finnish page. Kiasma means chiasma in Finnish, so I assume "word for crossing" means chiasma. Or does "Robert Schediwy Kiasma - ein neues Kunstmuseum in: Staedtebilder - Reflexionen zum Wandel in Architektur und Urbanistik, Vienna 2005 p 98 ff" say something else?
