The main building of the former Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) designed by Alvar Aalto is part of the cultural heritage in Finland. The building underwent a major renovation in 2011–2015 and has now become an awarded Undergraduate Centre for the modern interdisciplinary education of Aalto University. This paper presents how the architectural masterpiece from the 1960’s was renovated and updated into a modern and accessible university building. Particular attention was paid for entering the building by wheelchairs, prams and pushchairs. The successful renovation was awarded in 2015 by the ‘Esteetön Suomi -palkinto’ (Accessible Finland Award), given every two years as a mark of recognition to activities or locations implementing the principles of accessibility and universal design for all on a broad scale and in a nationally significant way.

Healthcare Architecture has grown rapidly in recent years. However, there are still many questions remaining. The commission, therefore, is to share the existing research knowledge and latest results and to carry out research projects focusing more specifically on the health care situation in a variety of contexts. The ARCH14 conference was the third conference in the series of ARCH conferences on Research on Health Care Architecture initiated by Chalmers University. It was realized in collaboration with the Nordic Research Network for Healthcare Architecture .It was a joint event between Aalto University, Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) and National Institute of Health and Welfare (THL International).The conference gathered together more than 70 researchers and practitioners from across disciplines and countries to discuss the current themes.

Art as we don't know it
(Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, 2020) Berger, Erich (editor); Mäki-Reinikka, Kasperi (editor); O'Reilly, Kira (editor); Sederholm, Helena (editor)
2018 marked the 10th anniversary of the Bioart Society and created the impetus for the publication of Art as We Don’t Know It. For this publication, the Bioart Society joined forces with the School of Arts, Design and Architecture of the Aalto University. The close history and ongoing collaborative relationship between the Bioart Society and Biofilia – Base for Biological Arts in the Aalto University lead to this mutual effort to celebrate together a diverse and nurturing environment to foster artistic practices on the intersection of art, science and society. Rather than stage a retrospective, we decided to invite writings that look forward and invite speculations about the potential directions of bioarts. The contributions range from peer-reviewed articles to personal accounts and inter-views, interspersed with artistic contributions and Bioart Society projects. The selection offers a purview of the rich variety, both in content and form, of the work currently being made within the field of bioart. The works and articles clearly trouble the porous and provisional definitions of what might be understood as bioart, and indeed definitions of bioart have been usefully and generativity critiqued since the inception of the term. Whilst far from being definitive, we consider the contributions of the book to be tantalising and valuable indicators of trends, visions and impulses. We also invite into the reading of this publication a consideration of potential obsolescences knowing that some of today’s writing will become archaic over time as technologies driven by contemporary excitement and hype are discarded. In so doing we also acknowledge and ponder upon our situatedness and the partialness of our purview in how we begin and find points of departure from which to anticipate the unanticipated. Whilst declining the view of retrospection this book does present art and research that has grown and flourished within the wider network of both the Bioart Society and Biofilia during the previous decade. The book is structured into four thematic sections Life As We Don’t Know It, Convergences, Learnings/Unlearnings, Redraw and Refigure and rounded off with a glossary.

Causality between Design Direction and Net Promoter Score: An opening how to govern design more analytically by combining excisting structures
(Aalto University, 2014) Rajasalo, Heikki; Median laitos; Department of Media; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
Business development is striving for more certainty by creating softwares to analyze trends and figures. Parallelly there also seems to be a trend to increase certainty in design by gathering more data. It is not only challenging, but also a paradigm shift. Being a concept of auteurship, design is driven by the creative process and by the human expression where solutions are attributed by the designer. From this point of view design is highly ambiguous. On the other hand, it has been proven that design solution and the impact of design is improved by developing more precise design briefs and by having more conscious design direction. This development is also structurally embedded in current design ROI discurse. Do design need its own initial data or could excisting business engines, such as Net Promoter Score, be utilized as design attribute tools?

Design as a Catalyst for Sustainability Transitions
(Design Research Society, 2018) Gaziulusoy, Idil; Erdogan Öztekin, Elif; Muotoilun laitos; Department of Design; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
Transitions towards sustainability need for radical and structural changes in the social, cultural and organisational dimensions in addition to technological innovations and infrastructural changes. Sustainability transitions have been a research and practice agenda for several decades. Currently, a new area in design for sustainability field is emerging that bridges the theories and practices of sustainability transitions with theory, education and practice of design. In this paper, we investigate the emergence and evolution of this new area through a literature review of selected publications that represent the current approaches of integrating the theories of sustainability transitions and design. We provide an overview of the current status of the field as well as a comparative analysis of the main contributions regarding their theoretical groundings, sustainability definitions/measures, framings of role of design(ers) and methodological propositions.
Dialogues for sustainable design and art pedagogy. The AH-DEsign project
(Aalto University, 2013) Niinimäki, Kirsi (editor); Kallio-Tavin, Mira (editor); Muotoilun laitos; Department of Design; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
Participatory design and accessible exhibitions have played an essential role in the fields of fine art and design for a long time. In the two-year AH-DEsign Accessible and Sustainable Design project involving three European universities, we wanted to rethink those important efforts from the perspective of everyday life and various stakeholders and audiences. New approaches were tested, developed for, and displayed in three TANGO exhibitions (TANGO=Towards A New interGenerational Openness) organised as part of the project in Nantes (FR), Milan (IT) and Helsinki (FI) during the spring of 2013. This book is the final publication of the project, offering further discussion of the ideas and processes raised during the past two years. The AH-DEsign project was funded in collaboration with the European Commission Culture programme, and between the leading Aalto University, and partners Politecnico di Milano and L’École de design Nantes Atlantique. Contemporary design and up-to-date perspectives on exhibitions place humans in the centre of the processes. The methods of participatory design and radical art pedagogy have over the recent years had similarities in their views of different publics and stakeholders. Pedagogical approaches have been found to be meaningful and informative in the AH-DEsign project, because here human-centred design and accessible exhibitions are understood to be crucially important. They are in fact so important that we can even talk about an educational turn in design. Engaging users as co-designers is not a new approach to design practices. However, it becomes a new approach when the pedagogical perspectives are well acknowledged. While participatory design looks at the process as something that gathers information from people to aid the design process, educational approaches are concerned with the learning and engagement of the participants, and with eventually revealing something new either for or with the participants.

Facilitating Student Reflection through Digital Technologies in the iTEC Project: Pedagogically-Led Change in the Classroom
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2014) McNicol, Sarah; Lewin, Cathy; Keune, Anna; Toikkanen, Tarmo; Median laitos; Department of Media; Learning Environment Research Group; Oppimisympäristöjen tutkimusryhmä; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
During the Europe-wide iTEC project, student reflection has been supported through the development of two dedicated digital tools: TeamUp and ReFlex. Using these tools, students are able to monitor their progress, thus gaining a greater awareness of their learning achievements and an appreciation of the new skills they have developed. Although TeamUp and ReFlex have been well-received by teachers and students, the use of audio-visual tools to support reflection was novel for most and the project evaluation highlighted the need for detailed guidance if these technologies are to be exploited to their full advantage.

HELSINKI IDENTITIES - FILM NARRATIVE AS A PLANNING TOOL OF URBAN DISTRICTS Urban areas are in a continuous stage of transformation. Research project ‘Helsinki Identities: Film Narrative as a Planning Tool of New Urban Districts (HIDE)’ sets out to respond to this challenge by developing new ways to identify and document local historical and social elements in urban districts. We examine how narrative methods could be used in order to create or strengthen unique cultural identity that arises from the user experience. Overall, HIDE –project aims to contribute to the discussion on design processes and methodologies by creating a multidisciplinary narrative framework for the purpose of translating the historical and social elements of urban districts into strength for its development. Hide-project works on two cases and we draw from design processes of screenwriting, scenography and service design as well as from urban sociology in order to recover and reinterpret meanings related to the sites and to foster a constructive sense of place identity and identification there. As an outcome there are research articles, conference presentations and suggestions and material for the authorities and actors of City of Helsinki for further development procedures. The project is a co-project of Aalto University and City of Helsinki 2013-2015.
Ihan taiteessa. Puheenvuoroja taiteen ja tutkimuksen suhteesta.
(Aalto University, 2012) Haveri, Minna; Kiiskinen, Jouni (eds.); Taiteen laitos; Department of Art; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
Tässä teoksessa tarkastellaan taiteen ja tutkimuksen suhdetta yhdeksän taiteen alalta väitelleen suomalaisen tutkijan voimin. Lähes kaikilla heistä on tausta kuvataidekasvatuksessa, mikä suuntaa artikkelien näkökulmaa ja painotuksia. Tekstit nostavat esiin aihetta koskevan ajattelun moninaisuuden, kirjoittajien koulutustaustan yhtenäisyydestä huolimatta. Kirja tuo uusia ääniä ajankohtaiseen keskusteluun taiteellisesta tutkimuksesta. Useassa puheenvuorossa esitetään taiteilija-tutkijan näkökulman rinnalle tuoreita ja vaihtoehtoisia tapoja tarkastella asioita taiteen sisäpuolella. Teos tarjoaa antoisaa luettavaa ja ajateltavaa niin taiteen tutkijoille, taideopettajille ja -opiskelijoille kuin aihepiiristä yleisimmin kiinnostuneille.
In-Time On-Place Learning
(IADIS Press, 2014) Bauters, Merja; Purma, Jukka; Leinonen, Teemu; Median laitos; Department of Media; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
The aim of this short paper is to look at how mobile video recording devices could support learning related to physical practices or places and situations at work. This paper discusses particular kind of workplace learning, namely learning using short video clips that are related to physical environment and tasks preformed in situ. The paper presents challenges of supporting learning as part of work practices taking place in the workplace, because learning has different attributes during work than in formal educational contexts: e.g. it is informal, just in time and social. The theoretical framework of the design is the tradition of pragmatism. We start with the concepts of experience, change of practices / habits and reflection, claiming that living through experiences suggest changes for practices and these trigger reflective processing of the situations. We present an Android application ‘Ach So!’ for creating and annotating short videos as potential solution for informal learning for physical work practices. The paper ends in proposing future steps in the development of the application. The co-design process for the application is lean and iterative, where the design receives feedback from the project partners, skilled workers, apprentices and managers of SMEs targeted to be the main users of the application.
Interplay of Cultures : 25 years of education in global sustainability and humanitarian development at Aalto University
(Aalto University, 2018) Hollmén, Saija (editor)
In recent decades, many Western architectural schools have taken up the challenge to tackle global polarities and humanitarian crises. Educational programs raising awareness of the “south – north”, “developing – developed”, “poor – rich” dichotomies are all asking the same question: What is the role of architecture in the globalizing world? Since 1993, the Department of Architecture at Aalto University has offered courses on development issues dealing with the reality of architecture, building design and urban planning outside Europe, with cultural understanding as the starting point. The course, originally called Interplay of Cultures, was first developed and undertaken by architects Hennu Kjisik and Veikko Vasko, under Juhani Pallasmaa’s deanship. From the beginning, it has been about careful analysis and learning about local conditions, about communication with local stakeholders and communities, and listening to the needs and aspirations of the local people. It has been more about pondering the values on which we base our profession, and the moralities we choose to follow in our practices – and what we can learn from ourselves, when venturing out to the unknown. It was, and still is, about mutual learning and respecting other ways of seeing the world. In recent years the focus has moved from strictly architectural towards more interdisciplinary approaches, embracing disciplines from other Schools of Aalto University – namely from Aalto University’s Sustainable Global Technologies (SGT) Programme, where students in multidisciplinary teams carry out projects linked to global development challenges in collaboration with partners from academia, industries, government and civil society, organizations and local communities. The exhibition, first organizes at the Museum of Finnish Architecture in 2018, and this catalogue discuss questioning and redefining the role of architecture in our societies and the globalizing world, where the challenges are too big to tackle with one disciplinary knowledge alone.
Käyttäjä tuotekehityksessä. Tieto, tutkimus, menetelmät.
(Aalto University, 2009) Hyysalo, Sampsa; Muotoilun laitos; Department of Design; Taiteiden ja suunnittelun korkeakoulu; School of Arts, Design and Architecture
Onnistunut tuotekehitys vaatii syvällistä ymmärtämystä käyttäjien toimista, tyyleistä ja haluista. Käyttäjätiedon puute on puolestaan yleisin syy tuotekehityksen epäonnistumiselle. "Käyttäjä tuotekehityksessä" on monipuolinen perusteos siitä, miten tuotekehittäjät voivat hankkia tarvitsemaansa tietämystä käyttäjistä ja käyttöympäristöistä. Teos on suunnattu käsikirjaksi tuotekehityksen ammattilaisille ja oppikirjaksi insinööri-, kauppa-, muotoilu- ja ihmistieteissä. Teos tarjoaa käsityksen siitä: (1) mistä käyttäjätieto koostuu, (2) tietoa siitä, mitä menetelmiä käyttäjien ja käytön selvittämiseen on olemassa ja perusteet niiden toteuttamisesta, (3) ymmärrystä eri menetelmien vahvuuksista, heikkouksista ja niissä tarvittavista panostuksista, (4) ongelmalähtöisiä case-esimerkkejä, jotka auttavat omaan projektiin sopivan työtavan löytämisessä, sekä (5) opastusta siihen, miten edetä perusteista eteenpäin.
