INVESTIGATING THE (WORK)HOME

Presentation, book launch & wine reception

  • Date: Wednesday, 10 December 2025

  • Venue: The Finnish Labour Museum Werstas, Galleria Bertel
  • Address: Väinö Linnan aukio 8, Tampere

Within the framework of the T-winning Spaces 2035 research project, ASUTUT research group of Sustainable Housing Design focused on investigating the social and spatial dimensions of the home as a space of work to reimagine sustainable and just homeworking environments for the future.

Part of that research has been synthesised into a Pattern Book, which functions as a spatial guidebook that helps dwellers, architects, planners, housing developers and other stakeholders unveil the potential of homes as spaces of work and as a checklist of good design and living environment adaptation practices. The Pattern Book will be launched during the event.

The event is free of charge and open to the public. However, due to space availability, we kindly ask you to register by 30 November 2025.

At the event Those Who Become Placed will share an embodied interpretation of the theme of the research. We have investigated our own rituals working at home. We were inspired by the research and found certain repetitive movement patterns that we would like to make visible. We see that Those Who Become Placed and ASUTUT research group share similar interest in experiential space.

Those Who Become Placed develop a joint practice of architectural research and activist dance with the support of Finnish Cultural Foundation, the City of Tampere and the University of Tampere. The group is interested in how embodied movement can help people be present in urban transformation. Those Who Become Placed consists of:

Elina Alatalo, architect-researcher

Hanna Kahrola, dance artist (on stage)

Anna Kupari, dance artist

Jaakko Simola, artistic mentor (on stage)

Mia Tiihonen, documenter (on stage)

Tuuti Touhunen, dance artist (on stage)

The collaboration has been funded by TURNS and has become actual together with the support of Pirkanmaa Dance Centre.
