The City of Helsinki is in the process of preparing an architectural programme Helsinki Builds a Good Life, which will start a discussion on the meaning of architecture for the development of the city and work as a tool to enhance the quality of the debate.
Our office has created the Make 2.0 concept for a wooden apartment block which appears in the Helsinki City Architectural Programme. This concept has been developed in order to facilitate the design and construction processes in the production of wooden apartment blocks while at the same time providing delicate infill within the existing urban grain, together with the aim of increasing the share of wooden buildings in the city environment.
