Descrizione dell'iniziativa

The mission is to consider sustainable ways to use forests, both in their natural formand as industrial resources and to create living environments built in wood and inbalance with surrounding nature. 

The focus of the course will be in exploring forest and wood in its varying appearancesin scales of landscape architecture, urban design, building design, interior architecture and furniture. We'll also study the importance of forest with a wide scope from biodiversity and production of ecosystem services to economically managed forests and wood building processes and the ethics related to it.

The course introduces students to the different viewpoints about the forest and uses of forest materials and wood. The aim is to give an understanding of the role of forest in:
  • preserving biodiversity
  • as natural habitat
  • water, nutrient and carbon cycle
  • climate and erosion regulation
  • industrial use of wood
  • building with wood
  • wellbeing and recreation
