Bio
Jyrki Tarpio has been working in the field of housing research since 1999. An interest towards spatial and morphological questions related to dwelling flexibility is a common denominator in his work. Tarpio’s early interest was residential open building. During 1999–2002 he worked in a project in which research on open building achievements in four countries was carried out. Later he widened his scope into diverse questions regarding dwelling flexibility and its relation to spatial design. His dissertation Joustavan asunnon tilalliset logiikat (English translation: Spatial Logics of Dwelling Flexibility) is a profound work on the subject written in Finnish.
His latest works include reports on small-scale urban housing and affordable housing. Since 2016–19 he has been working as a subproject leader in a multidisciplinary research project ‘Dwellers in Agile Cities’ funded by the Academy of Finland.
Tarpio worked as a visiting researcher in Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan in 1999–2000, and in Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 2019. In addition to academic research, he has conducted small-scale design work through his own architectural studio.
