Topic outline

The aim of the two-week workshop is to study the use of wood in design interventions in the new living environment (ex. architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, design etc.) with the aim of causing no net loss in the natural environments. During the two weeks students will produce design proposals for new living environments on the Otaniemi campus that are in balance with nature and the wellbeing of humans and other species.
The design project will be conducted when the students arrive on campus 6.-18.8.2023. So don't start working on the design yet. During the summer the students will produce background information for the design work through the pre-assignments.
The students will work in groups of 5-6 representing various disciplines and institutions. The groups are encouraged to produce designs utilizing the expertise of the various disciplines. The groups will select the concept or concepts studied in the pre-assignment as the basis for their project. These concepts are then applied to a design proposal on campus. The groups will design new living environments using wood and in balance with nature. The design solutions can range from student housing to pavilions and recreational areas in the public space.The groups will work on three / four scales:
XL: global:
The global scale considers how does the design project respond to global issues? There will not necessarily be any designs produced in this scale. The scale serves as a type of mission statement for the design project.
L: area / landscape:
The large scale considers the whole Otaniemi campus area.
M: site / building / structure:
The mid scale considers a selected site on the campus focusing on a building and its immediate surroundings.
S: detail / product / human scale:
The smallest scale focuses on details, interior architecture or furniture design or products.
Each group determines how much they focus on each scale, but all scales should be considered in the final design proposal. The groups will select their own site and part of the campus that they are focusing on in their design work.
The comprehensive design brief is available in the course handbook.
