Reusable – Visions of wood architecture circularity

The designs are the outcome of the Wood Studio course 2022. The theme of the Studio was “Extend - Modify - Reuse” of wooden structures.

The 2022 Wood Studio course challenged students to develop creative solutions for the design of a reusable wooden building.

What would happen in, for example, 10-20 years if this solution/idea would become “the new normal”?  

  • Less environmental impact produced by the built environment
  • Fewer new building components needed if buildings were designed for disassembly
  • Fewer new buildings if every building would be designed to be adapted for different uses 
Wood Studio course
Wood studio projects include prototypes, models and posters.
