Katja Maununaho talks about how communal living can break the bubbles of loneliness - multipurpose communal spaces can give support in getting to know others. Listen to it here (in Finnish)
ASUTUT researchers Tapio Kaasalainen and Taru Lehtinen with colleagues from TAU Civil Engineering and Tampere University of Applied Sciences have published a new paper titled ‘Architectural window design and energy efficiency: Impacts on heating, cooling and lighting needs in Finnish climates’ in the Journal of Building Engineering. The presented research explores the energy use effect that various window related design decisions have, alone and combined with each other, highlighting the importance of a holistic design approach. The paper is freely available until December 17th 2019 from the following address:

The University awarded €20,000 seed funding related to Sustainable Welfare Systems to support our interdisciplinary collaborative research project looking at ways to reimagine social futures for independent living for the ageing population in the Nordic countries.
ASUTUT are a small, yet fundamental part of the interdisciplinary team in which we provide expertise in elderly housing design aspects, and are co-developing the research project with Tampere University colleagues in solar cells technology, social psychological field study, and nursing studies, and others outside of TAU. The seed funding is in support of developing larger funding bids and to support our interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as establishing collaborations with other Nordic experts in this area. So watch this space! Please come and join us! https://www.atut.fi/asutut We invite ATUT delegates, and others, to a pre-symposium conversation about recently finished and ongoing research projects related to aspects of sustainable housing design and architecture.

Come study with us! An International Masters Programme in Sustainable Architecture at Tampere University in Finland. On 23rd April, (13:00-16:00), Dr Jyrki Tarpio will present the Agile Living Cookbook web-application. It is a freely available idea and data bank that serves the design and development of urban modern living (in Finnish). The Agile Living Cookbook aims to capture what the ways are to produce urban solutions that respond to different needs and enable residents to participate.
