In our ‘I claim’ series architect Helena Sandman talks about the importance of empathy in architecture and design practices.

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.

In the future, artificial intelligence-enabled “self-driving” brain stimulators can ameliorate the condition of millions of patients suffering from brain disorders, says Professor of Applied Physics Risto Ilmoniemi. He also thinks that his best research results may still be in the future.

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.

Aalto University Research Services organises a webinar series on research data management and open science in autumn 2021.

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.

Come present your research to 15-17 year olds at the Unite! For Sustainable Energy session during the European Researchers' Night.

One- and two-room-flats are being built in Myyrmäki, and family apartments in Myllypuro. The difference is explained above all by various planning and land transfer requirements, says researcher Johanna Lilius. The revival of housing estate neighbourhoods can become expensive for older residents.

School of Business alumnus Atte Heikkilä, who pursues an international career as a project manager in Sweden and Senior Client Success Manager in Spain, participated in the Aalto mentoring program as a mentor. He recommends the program both to students and alumni: ‘Join the program with an open mind and challenge your own and the mentor's possible presumptions.’

The Act on the Re-Use of Publicly funded Research Data entered into force on 17 July 2021.

Article requests from the National Repository Library will be forwarded only in paper format from 1 September 2021

Due to deployment of the new study system Sisu, thesis advisor and supervising professor information in the research information system, ACRIS, cannot be currently updated. The integration between the systems should be ready by the end of 2021.

The newly funded joint ventures research and develop technologies for faster testing methods in quantum technologies, super-repellent coating for medical applications, and high-performance mid-infrared fibre lasers.

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.
