Woodlife Sweden in Turkey is a part of the WOODLIFE SWEDEN which is a platform to boost international collaboration and act as a base for discussions and seminars on urban challenges.
WOODLIFE SWEDEN in Turkey puts the user of the built environment in the centre and organizes a couple of event series in Turkey with the aim of promoting use of wood in architecture, design and built environment and promote sustainability.
Simultaneous exhibitions will take place starting as of October 2021 presenting how Swedish architects and designers work innovatively with wood, and a digital symposium with several side events will be organized on 9-11 October 2021 to bring Turkish and Swedish counterparts together to discuss and be inspired by wooden architecture and promote sustainability
Woodlife Symposium is a three day digital joint venture seminar with examples from Sweden and Turkey, will present a series of projects and ideas, from past to future, and with case studies from present timber construction.
