Building Sustainably with the Synergy of Traditional Craft and Modern Technology

Johnsson Alvarez, Alberto Per  
July 24, 1909

Our use of wood is broadly divided into two categories: wood for construction and wood for energy. This division arises not from the quality of the material but from our inability to adapt to its unpredictable properties. As a result, the Jorat forest alone burns around 3'000 m³ of wood every year. The Master Project proposes to find new ways to repurpose this wasted material for construction. By combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced digitalization, it aims to unlock the hidden potential of this wood. The project will create new production spaces focused on artisanal fields such as carpentry, cabin and tile making. These spaces will be established in the abandoned farms of the village of Ropraz, located in the northeast of the Jorat forest. They will use local wood to meet the growing demand for housing construction in the region. These activities will be part of the public space, forming a new wood-making village.
