Netta Böök

Netta Böök serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Architecture at Aalto University, specializing in architectural history and sustainable construction practices with a focus on Finnish contexts.

Her research portfolio emphasizes:

• Historical wood construction techniques in Finland
• Socialist-era community planning in displaced Finnish settlements
• Heritage conservation through ICOMOS frameworks
• Innovative sustainable materials (moss, algae, charcoal walls)
• Natural ventilation systems in building design
• Military architecture history of Viapori/Suomenlinna

Analysis of her 2021-2023 publications reveals consistent exploration of cultural heritage intersecting with environmental sustainability, particularly examining how historical building practices inform contemporary climate-responsive design. Her work bridges Finnish architectural traditions with global conservation standards, often addressing post-conflict reconstruction and material innovation.

She actively contributes to both Finnish-language architectural discourse (Arkkitehtiuutiset) and international heritage conservation (ICOMOS), demonstrating dual engagement with local traditions and global professional networks.
