Abstract

The Wood Program challenges students to experiment with wood and to study wood architecture and industrial construction through a hands-on, one-year program. The academic year includes lectures, excursions, design and build assignments, culminating in an experimental wooden building to be built during the spring semester. This year, the program is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and it is reaching out to society both locally and globally in many impactful ways — from small Finnish town squares to communities in Argentina.

This exhibition is a compilation of projects carried out over the past 30 years. The program is run by Pekka Heikkinen, Professor of Wood Architecture.

The information on artistic outputs in the Aalto Research Portal follows the reporting guidelines of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture.
