CLT LVL CODESIGN SELF-BUILD

Jyväskylä

A co-built, prefabricated CLT, carbon neutral neighbourhood in an upcycled paper industry. The site is an abandoned industrial area, where the local municipality is planning to expand the city to. Our proposal was that to increase density in order to save soil and resources for future generations, developing a research on how to grow a new inhabited forest.

Search questions

As a consequence of our search as architects, we also produce understanding and knowledge made of words -written and spoken. This search revolves around twelve constant themes, questions we don’t have a definitive answer to yet. This knowledge is not just a by-product of our activity, but rather an instrumental part that develops simultaneously and is imbricated in building. Search Questions is our sisyphean effort to organize and share this knowledge while it's blossoming, fragile and unstable. By doing so, a more specific understanding, and more refined questions emerge.
