UNIT 5

‘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.
