The meeting featured discussions on key project areas, including raw materials, new construction design, digitalization, performance validation, sustainability analysis and business development. A highlight was the Urban Forest Walking Tour, showcasing four wooden buildings designed by WTA, demonstrating sustainable innovation in practice.

A co-creation workshop facilitated the development of a unified narrative for the Woodcircles pilot building demonstrators in Rotterdam, Tartu, and Torino. The project will ensure the socio-economic integration, activation, and programmatic use of the full-scale building during its testing phases in each city. Additionally, the cities will have complementary, city-specific experimentation activities to enhance the demonstrator’s implementation.
