The forest is a matrix of verticality, repitition and the variable. It speaks it own language within itself. The Forest Language Sauna draws inspiration from this dialogue.

Savusauna at Murratsalo The site ...
Design and construct a new savusauna for Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House at Murratsalo in Jyväskylä, Finland. The new sauna would act in stead of Aalto’s sauna as his was being retired from use due to accumulated flammable noki or soot.
The task ...
Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House at Murrasalo
The proposal ... Forest Language The forest is interpreted and distilled as an abstract field of verticality. In order to affect the site as little as pos-sible the architecture mimicks this abstraction. By taking varying standard dimensions of sawn timber and orient-ing them vertically on their short axis a cladding system forms. Meanwhile an Aalto inspired slope give tribute to the monument on the bluff while allowing the copious snowfall to slide away, relieving the structure. For rest after sauna the construct offers amphitheater seating with a few of the lake. Inside the heat-room the ki-aus (stove) is lowered to floor level; an uncommon occurrence in traditional sauna. This equates to better loki (sau-na steam), and more comfortable lauteiden ( sauna benches).
Plan - 1/50 scale
Footbridge in FiskarsThe site ...
Create a footbridge that connects the artisan’s homes and their workshops. The task ...
An 8m river crossing in the historic town of Fiskars, known historically for its tool fabrication and presently for its artisin wooden furniture production.
The proposal ... Cocoon The river speaks in the psuedo-chaotic logic of paths and reactions. Flowing around stones it adjusts its course in graceful arches dictated by its natural law. The Cocoon bridge takes this dance of paths as a structural prec-edent. Forces flow and bend through the structure creating an equilibrium. As one crosses the bridge these forces display themselves in woven joints that fractal the enviornment into human scale “windows” The construction of the Cocoon bridge utilizes three temporary circular supports. These are erected with the purpose of creating the refernce points necessary to plot the load bearing geodesic glue-lament arches in three dimensional space. Once the structure is complete the temporary supports are removed, allowing the system to reach a stable equilibrum within itself.
Use of “reference” molds help keep shape during bending stage. These molds are first erected on the site. They are constructed out of a conventional wood framing system and are bolted together at the joints allowing for easy removal once “woven” structure is in place.
. . .
The primary members are “woven” forming the main structural components of the bridge. These are then bolted to one another. In this fashion the bent components keep the form offered to them by the reference points dictated by the molds.
. . .
Once the molds are removed the bolted woven construct of the bridge remains in form. The structural geometry is revealed and the decking can be laid.
