    Design has been recognized as a key discipline to bring ideas to the market. In addition to current research on human perceptions and the functional capacities of wood, this publication demonstrates the potential of wood in various applications. The designs are the results of three design courses, implemented during 2015 and 2016 at Aalto University in Finland. The Masters student courses included two Wood Studios at Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture and the Integrated Interior Wooden Surfaces course at the School of Chemical Technology at Aalto University. The students that participated in these courses have backgrounds in architecture, design and forest products technology. This book is an outcome of Work Package 5, WoodWisdom-NET project Wood2New (2014-2017), in collaboration with project Wood Life (Aalto Energy Efficiency Research Programme, 2013-2017). We hope you enjoy our product and become inspired!

  • Moduli 225 : a gem of modern architecture
    (2016) Kaila, Anna-Mikaela
     School of Arts, Design and Architecture | D4 Julkaistu kehittämis- tai tutkimusraportti tai -selvitys
    Moduli 225 is a modular timber frame system for holiday homes developed from 1968 to 1974 by by the Finnish architects Kristian Gullichsen and Juhani Pallasmaa. Through the use of prefabricated standard elements, the system allowed anyone to construct a building of high aesthetic quality in a flexible and modifiable way by combining components according to their personal preferences. Through the Moduli system, the industrial serial production of components was successfully combined with freedom of choice, individuality, proportional harmony and modernist expression. The simple standard shape and geometry and the humane scale and harmony of proportion of Moduli all represent universal aesthetics. Moduli, as well as the idealism, open-mindedness and omnipotence present in its spirit, have been inspiring worldwide audiences for over 40 years. Well, this was a kind of utopia for us. And utopias, they never come true. [...] A realised utopia which was not realised after all, laughs Kristian Gullichsen.
  • Nomadic Science Fiction: Experiencing Diversity and Alterity Through Urbanising Mongolia
    (2022) Wilenius, Annu

    Nomadic Science Fiction: Experiencing Diversity and Alterity through Urbanising Mongolia is my dissertation submitted as partial fulfilment of a doctoral degree for Aalto University, the doctoral work also including a production part. The dissertation has been conducted at Aalto University, Department of Art (Visual Culture) with the starting point in mind to experiment art and curating as research practices and travelling and narrative writing as ways of collecting and conveying ‘experience’. Nomadic Science Fiction is a project I have based on exhibition exchanges, travels, residencies and publications realised by visual artists, architects and curators between Western countries and Mongolia from 2005 to 2014. The main exhibitions were Mongolia: Perception and Utopia, 2008 (curated by Saara Hacklin, Pirkko Siitari and Annu Wilenius), Bare house. Pori-Rotterdam-Ulaanbaatar, 2010 (curated by Annu Wilenius) and Bare house. Ulaanbaatar, 2011 (curated by Annu Wilenius). In context with the exhibitions there were publications: Mongolia: Perception and Utopia, (edited by Saara Hacklin and Annu Wilenius), 2008, Bare house. Pori-Rotterdam Ulaanbaatar, (edited by Annu Wilenius), 2011, Bare house. Ulaanbaatar – At the Building Site (edited by Annu Wilenius), 2014. The exhibitions and publications are the production part of this doctoral work.There have been a number of articles – both within and about – this project. Some of the texts in this dissertation have been published before. The essays in the exhibition publications are separately indicated. Also the essay Nomadic Urbanism and Other Oxymorons to Learn from was published in a Viennese Libertine Magazine, 2010, and the article Neighbours and Gardens: Social and Environmental Change in the Ulaanbaatar Ger District of Bayanzurkh, written in collaboration with Melitta Kuglitsch was published in the conference publication The Great Wall – Architecture and Identity in China and Mongolia (Vienna Technical University, 2010). I call this research project nomadic science fiction because it has been travelling in space, time and intensity. I see it as science fiction because I believe science fiction to be trying to reach out to what seems impossible and then acting as if it were possible. The impossible may be the utmost adventure. This dissertation and the productions are my proposal for Aalto University for the Degree of Doctor of Art.
  • THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN - INTERPLAY OF CULTURES 2023

    Since 1993, the Interplay of Cultures Studio course at the Aalto University’s Department of Architecture, has exposed architectural students to cultural contexts outside Europe, with the intention to learn about our cultural differences and similarities and enhance our understanding of indigenous cultures’ living environments and conditions. For most years, except for the pandemic years, while we did research on the Sámi cultures, this has meant travelling to countries such as Senegal, Benin, Cambodia, Philippines, Tanzania and Rwanda. The course focuses on sustainable design solutions and culturally sensitive architecture. A field trip has always been an integral part of the course setting. No distance or online teaching experience compares to the sensory exposure of reality, of “participating in the world”, influencing and being under the influence of other humans, of places with distinct identities, of smells, sounds and visual fireworks of life formerly unknown to us. Getting a cultural shock is part of the deal. In 2023, the course travelled to the Ashanti city of Kumasi in Ghana, to collaborate with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and the Ghanaian Building and Road Research Institute (BRRI) for three weeks. As always, the course included studies on local building traditions and materials and the local culture’s social, economic and climatic characteristics. Apart from developing the students’ value system and sense of responsibility, the aim is to provide the students with a wider perspective and understanding of the processes of architectural practice. The studio setting was composed to merge the 12 Aalto students with over 100 KNUST students, who were processing an urban survey in a designated central area of Kumasi City. Organising the collaboration during our field trip proved to be challenging to start with, due to the unequal size of the groups and different alignments in their assignments. Also, the background of the students played a role: Ghanaian students were operating on familiar ground, whereas the Aalto students did not have the same understanding of cultural concepts, and quickly started to fall behind the pace of collecting quantitative data with the larger group. Instead, the Aalto students directed their attention to understanding the city environment with all their senses in a qualitative manner. After the inspiring field trip, the studio work has given fruits in diverse projects crafted by the students in small groups, pairs, and individually. The students were granted the freedom to envision and design their projects, resulting in a collection that offers a captivating glimpse into life in Kumasi. Each project, in its own unique way, proposes sustainable architectural solutions that honour the city’s rich cultural heritage with utmost sensitivity.
