Sustainable Curriculum? –
Discussion with students and teachers of the Department of Architecture
How do students feel sustainability is handled in the current curriculum and what should change? Welcome to discuss about sustainability and the current curriculum with department teachers and students at a Zoom-event on Monday 31st May at 5-7pm.
The zoom link will be shared later in the guilds telegram and email.
You Tell Me Collective gathered information about students’ opinions towards sustainability in their studies in Aalto University. Survey was aimed at assessing the current opinion of the quality of sustainability education within Aalto University Architecture department (focus on the environmental point of view).

New European Bauhaus: Wood Architecture and Design 19.5.
Wood has been used throughout human history in everything from simple structures to ornate architecture. Now in the growing demand for a climate-friendly environment, use of wood has become a key factor.
We want to call on Nordic architects, artists, designers, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, students and everyone interested, to join us in shaping the Nordic perspective on Wood Architecture and Design for the New European Bauhaus initiative.
Come together to learn, discuss and co-create the role of wood in architecture, design and art. What can we learn from the Nordic tradition? What do we need to build a more sustainable future? How can wood architecture and design change the quality of living and create better environments on all scales?
The New European Bauhaus is a creative initiative that aims to combine sustainability, inclusion and aesthetics. It is an environmental, economic and cultural project instigated by the European Commission.
The event is organized by Finnish Ministry of the Environment in cooperation with the Nordic Council of Ministers, Aalto University, the Nordic Historic Wooden Towns’ Network and Archinfo Finland.
