The brochure documents the work produced as part of the Share Wood Forest course series (SWF 1–4, winter semester 23/24 to summer semester 25) and shows the students’ ongoing engagement with resilient and circular construction using wood. Seminars and workshops address design, structural, and construction issues in circular building, with a particular focus on reuse and the use of used components.
The central principle of all courses is the multi-stage reuse process: in each phase, students continue to work with the wooden components from the designs of previous courses. This creates a real material cycle in which components are repeatedly dismantled, recombined, and transformed into new architectural concepts.
The brochure shows the diversity of the approaches developed and highlights how circular strategies are deepened and further developed through experimental work, material understanding, and iterative design processes.
