Abstract
The lecture “A Contemporary Interpretation of the Vernacular” discusses five projects designed by Jenni Reuter or Hollmén Reuter Sandman Architects (Saija Hollmén, Jenni Reuter and Helena Sandman). The projects; the Straw Bale cottages, Sattmark, Finland, the Women’s Centre in Rufisque, Senegal, the KWIECO Shelter House in Moshi, Tanzania, Villa Hanna, Merimasku, Finland and The Snow Show, Rovaniemi, Finland are executed during a time span from 1996 to 2023. The projects are geographically situated far from each other and differ in room program but have several factors in common. They are rooted in the site through the local circumstances, the vernacular architecture and the local materials and ways of construction. Theseaspects are analysed within each project.
