How it all began
A three-dimensional interpretation of the changes of temperature and humidity at the time when Aalto's Toppilla Pulp Mill was in use.
The project began with a very close collaboration with Radu Macovei. We began our trip in Oulu, Finland exploring and experimenting with Alvar Aalto's 1930 pulp mill -- in which today has been reduced to one silo which was once a chip container.
The design outcome of this project was based on a series of experiments and parameters which are; the experiment, the form, and the myth.
Forging the North and the South
Collecting two dimensional samples from the two sites we visited; Oulu and Nellim and forging them together as a parameter to designing
