Laura Remes
I want to live forever. Recently I’ve been following the stunning progress made in the field of robotic hands, for example.
Laura Meskanen-Kundu
The Sensual Mathematics course had our team designing and building a mathematical vine garden. Our mathematical garden rises to a height of almost six metres at the Finnish Science Centre Heureka.
Andreas Lindberg
An inspiring observation from the CHEMARTS courses has been how engineering and design students together familiarise themselves with biomaterials. I’m proud to have the opportunity to participate in the creation of a substrate, which enables Aalto to sprout inventions that are of significance to the environment.
Elisa Spigai
My starting point was in looking at how to communicate diversity. Working with the visual identity of Aalto Festival was a fun and inspiring way to learn and experiment with new things.
Aleksi Partanen
I’ve been a keen snowboarder ever since I was little, and this has taken me to races all over the world. I considered making this season my last, but competing once more started to feel more attractive after a short break.
Varvara Zhemchuzhnikova
As an artist I have tried to find different ways to visualise my own and other people’s migrant stories.
Pauli Kärnä
This laser-cut component is for a 3D human body scanner. As part of our coursework, we have also examined different opportunities for exploiting the device commercially.
Pavel Horak
I have just been joking with my friend about the huge difference between the student culture here and back home in the Czech Republic. Here people catch Pokemons on their mobile phones, while people back home catch matches with Tinder.
Suhyun Kim & Alex Ball
Finnish people always talk about light. At the gym here in Otaniemi, there’s even a room where people go to get more light during the winter.
Eija Ranta
In my research work, I’m interested in the relationship between otherness and humanity. For example, how do mycelium, bacteria or, say, trees experience life?
Tuomas Savolainen
The interaction between man and machine is weak. I think that it’d be sensible to assess whether there are new and better ways for modelling robots, for example in education or psychology.
Niklas Alenius
You can approach making art in many different ways, but fairly often, it’s somehow connected to the creator. It feels like the compulsory art studies that are a part of design studies are taking me away from my comfort zone.
Ilkka Kronqvist & Jenni Ylitervo
It’s a lot more efficient and fun to prepare for tests when you’ve got study pals to help you out. When you're in a group, very few problems remain unsolved.
Alison Tshala
I recently applied for a job. I don’t know yet whether I got the job, but I can already say that it was worth applying for, as it provided me with another opportunity to learn something new and interesting.
Alex Helaniemi
I’m interested in people’s collective development. Together, we can make the world a better place for all of us.
Martina Miño Pérez & Jernej Čuček Gerbec
We don’t only share the studio here in Otaniemi. We also share an interest in curating exhibitions.
Pekka Mattila
That there is indeed the tennis ball throwing machine called Tennisball Mortar that we made in the Machine Design Project course. Depending on the way you look at it, it is either an extremely cool or a totally ridiculous contraption.
Talvikki Kollmann
I often feel that the finished result for course work has to be perfect. With these mandatory art courses, I have decided to take a more relaxed attitude; I’m testing stuff and trying out things that I haven't done before.
Nils Skogman
I’m organising the Christmas party for the Department of Media here at the Design Factory. At the beginning of next year us bachelor’s students will be moving to Otaniemi, so in a sense this party will also be our house warming party.
Nicholas Kukka
Since the 1950s, students of technology have provided smart and friendly Father Christmases through Teekkaripukit. True Christmas spirit comes from the warmth and presence between people.
