Tampere University
Area of focusSociety, Technology

The Tampere University Pukki project researched how value creation phenomena are a part of responsible real estate development, multi-storey timber construction and circular economy.

The project also clarified how value networks and guiding mechanisms worked and how multi-storey timber value creation models differed from traditional building. Pukki is a part of Tampere University Graduate School of Industrial Timber Construction.

The case study target was Tampere Vuores, where six multi-storey timber houses were constructed. They are called Kuusikko.

The construction project as a whole was successful. You can find the project's homepage in Finnish here.

The project did active collaboration with Graduate School of Industrial Timber Construction. The development targets recognized in the project will be further studied as a part of the Graduate School research and other research projects.

Background
