Content

This study course introduces the basics of timber building and its importance in tackling climate change especially in public building and construction. Its starting point is to showcase various points of views and goals in helping the progress of public timber building. In addition, it includes a short history of timber building in Finland as well as an overview on the environmental impacts and circular economy potential of timber. It discusses the obstacles behind timber building not being mainstream in Finland. The idea is to open up for students the framework of modern industrial scale timber building whether it comes to the relevant terminology, processes or general level know-how. The study course is designed to be carried out independently in the Moodle web-based platform and it contains videos, expert statements, and drills for each independent part.
