Summary
An architectural research project led by Aalto University and Tampere University. We collaborate with five leading architectural offices in Finland on an ambitious goal to explore sustainable building, urban design, and mobility, and develop a digital product that will drive the green transition in architectural practice. The project focuses on digital tools to enable neighbourhood green transitions through improving public spaces, local services and transport systems, and social practices. It questions which tools best support architects and urban planners to deliver this transition and how to integrate them into professional practices.
