Finland builds a wooden building to promote wood.
In an EU scheme inspired by intelligent forest-dwelling giants , Finland's VTT Technical Research Center will build a square meter demonstration building made of new wood-based materials and components to showcase the benefits of wood in rural and urban development.
Designed by Dutch architects UNStudio, the building will feature wood thermal insulation materials, structural insulated panels (SIPs), and wood-plastic composites, among other components.
The wooden building will be located next to VTT's facilities in Jyväskylä, and will have a combined meeting and exhibition space and two warehouses when it is completed next year.
It is one of two demonstration buildings to be built under the € million European Basajaun project, launched in to promote wood as a conventional construction material; the other building is in France. The EU contributed million euros.
Finland builds a wooden building
Its name comes from Basque myt C Level Executive List hology, in which basajauns were enormous forest-dwelling hominids who built prehistoric structures and taught humans agriculture, ironworking, and other skills.
“Synthetic wood products can make a great contribution to transforming the construction sector from a carbon source to a sink,” said VTT.
UNStudio architect Alejandro Sánchez Peña said: “This experimental wooden building links traditional Finnish wooden architecture with the future of wooden construction through thoughtful design and carefully crafted details. The construction systems designed for the project are modular and the materials developed in the Basajaun consortium are sustainable and bio-based.”
The materials and components for the Finnish construction come from Grupo Garnica Plywood SA (Spain), Moelven Töreboda AB (Sweden), Focchi Spa (Italy), Soprema (France), Omikron-Dokk Kft (Hungary), Elastopoli Oy (Finland) and Irurena SA (Spain).
In addition to promoting wood, Basajaun's EU project explores the “complete digitalization of the forest-to-construction chain.”
VTT senior scientist Petri Jetsu said the research organization will monitor the performance of the wooden building for several years.
The Basajaun EU project has partners from countries, including research organisations, universities, companies and three other public and sectoral organisations. It is coordinated by the Tecnalia Research and Innovation Foundation.
