Aalto University, together with five other Finnish universities, is participating in the MustRead Academy, which was launched today. The purpose of the service is to strengthen the role of research-based knowledge in decision-making.

The exhibited projects showcase novel computational design methods to creatively interact with global and local data. Whereas the on-going general discussions in relation to data-handling stresses efficiency, productivity and often de-humanization, the exhibited projects set their focus on the exploration of immersive data-interaction design tools to enhance climate-smart solutions in the urban context. The projects aim for showcasing possibilities to make abstract data visible and tangible, to enter a new level of data-informed responsive design, that has public benefit.
Augmented data-interaction is merged with the tangible sandbox environment, in order to formulate sustainable design speculations for Ainonauki, an urban plaza located between Väre and Aalto Studios. The understanding of available technology to be composed and rearranged in order to support the field specific discourse led to innovative design speculations, based upon human-robotic interaction. The developed design methodology emphasizes the importance of design iterations through computationally informed feedback loops.

Although companies carry out of various corporate social responsibility (CSR) measures, these practices do not always have a positive effect on the environment or social sustainability.

Insight is the most important factor of an interesting exhibition, says Dallyn, having discovered her passion for the potential of materials

The main individual sector in creating a carbon-neutral Finland is renovation construction. The surge in demolition and replacement of young building stock and entire areas through carbon-intensive construction is problematic for sustainability. The ModerninArvo project aims at finding solutions to the continued shrinking of the life cycles of architecture, and the renovation and re-use of the architecture from recent decades. The project is being funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.

After an 18-month blackout due to the covid-19 pandemic, the Salone del Mobile.Milano is back in 5-10 September 2021. This year, special energy and new ideas can be found in The Lost Graduation Show, an exhibition showcasing projects from students who graduated between 2020 and 2021.
