Mets\u00e4 Wood is pleased to announce that London based Zaha Hadid Architects has joined the Open Source Wood initiative – the pioneering open innovation project aimed at facilitating knowledge sharing and growth in modular wood construction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collaboration kicks off in the early part of 2018 and includes a\u00a0design proposal for a multi-story residential structure using wood\u00a0elements from the Open Source Wood web library as the primary building material.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been engaged in our own\u00a0research projects on\u00a0prefabrication and modularity in building design and specifically around the use of timber. We believe in a collective, multi-disciplinary approach to problem-solving and welcome the collaborative possibilities of the Open Source Wood initiative.\u201d says Henry Louth of Zaha Hadid Architects.<\/p>\n

Open Source Wood is a continuation of Mets\u00e4 Wood\u2019s project Plan B, launched in 2015 as an ambitious blueprint to explore the possibilities of using wood in urban construction. Since its inception in June of 2017 Open Source Wood has attracted the attention of professionals and media around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re excited to have a world renowned architectural firm such as Zaha Hadid architects participating in Open Source Wood. They bring\u00a0unprecedented design excellence and knowledge to the project and we value the inspired point of view they bring regarding the possibilities of\u00a0modular wood construction.\u00a0We look forward to the outcome of their design work.\u201d says Mikko Saavalainen, SVP Business Development Mets\u00e4 Wood.<\/p>\n
