The project began with a competition in the architecture department by the students of the Wood Program. Upon selection the design was developed by students across all disciplines of the Aalto University –a full list of the schools involved can be found below.

A board comprising of professors, tutors and specialists from the university was formed to guide the research and design work. This soon grew to include sponsors and other members all involved in the various aspects of the project.
