Saunas: Combining Modern Technology with Nordic Traditions​

Saunas that exude authentic Nordic minimalism and elegance promote wellness, relaxation, meditation, and socialization. There are many different types of saunas for private or public purposes, but a few unique features and finishing options set some sauna designs apart. This course explains why the sauna has a much deeper tradition than wellness and discusses the considerations for selecting a ready-made or tailor-made sauna solution.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss why sauna culture has been a long-running tradition all over the world for over 2,000 years and why the sauna experience continues to be a vital health ritual​.
  • Describe the various types of saunas and discuss key design considerations that can enhance the sauna experience​.
  • Explain how a regular sauna can positively impact our psychological and physiological well-being​.
  • Discuss how the materials, design elements, and finishing options for a sauna provide opportunities to integrate biophilic design principles into a project.
  • Explain how the thermal modification process increases the durability and longevity of wood to provide a material that contributes to a sustainable sauna project while maintaining a specific aesthetic.​

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
