This will be there year where we transform ideas from the Low2No competition into on the ground realities.
Contract negotiations between our development team and our design teams will be complete by March. Design will commence immediately after, with Marco and I at the helm of Sitra’s design interface, and Jukka and Jarek ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Architecture tours have already been made to London and Berlin, and there are more to come.
Of course, in parallel to the design of a building are many other workstreams that will help make this work have impact, be replicable, and catalyze sustainable development in Finland. For instance, David Wood and I are developing a “sustainable finance toolkit” that will help to unpack the opaque world of investors who are interested in environmental returns in addition to their financial returns.
Low2No is just getting started. Please stay tuned!
