Project description
When Finland is net zero carbon, we want our site to reflect this in the changes of structure and outdoor environment. Our project preserves an open space for people to experience a harmonious work life balance through an interdisciplinary space to pursue a healthier and happier circular economy-like community. The site is a tectonic system, where form and structure can change throughout its uses. We use sustainable materials and renewable energy to work towards the net zero carbon goal.
