Project One:
‘Saving the Vernacular Finnish Hut’ tackles the continuously changing climatic conditions of the Anthropocene era and the way these changes are threatening the vernacular Finnish hut. Different strategies were proposed to help the vernacular hut adapt to the new conditions of flooding and lost ground from rising sea levels. A 'strategy testing workshop' was designed to provide a place where innovative strategies can be tested and developed in different areas of the floating workshop. The main testing area can be lifted up or lowered in and out of the water, simulating flooding conditions that will cover these islands.

Project Two:
‘The Stacked Workshop’ proposes an educational facility that is open to students and 'outskilled' craftspeople, offering them a chance for rehabilitation within the modern Finnish timber industry, or for an introduction to the context of a continuously changing working environment where machines replace human labour. Students and craftspeople experience working with the robots and machines that are used in the modern timber industry with the aim of achieving the skills necessary to handle these new technologies. This enables the students and craftspeople to adapt from traditional to modern working methods and stretch the boundaries of material craft.
