Aalto exhibition space at Helsinki Airport
The exhibition space is a launch of a new long-term collaboration between Aalto University and airport operator Finavia, who agreed during 2017 autumn on a three year collaboration including three exhibitions at the airport.
The exhibitions belong to Finavia’s Art Port Concept. The idea is to offer passengers surprising new services.
Fragile Water exhibition was opened in January 2019. To help us rethink how we use water, 17 contemporary design students and 5 water researchers from Aalto University joined forces. The exhibition uses glass to symbolise the fragility of global freshwater resources and solutions to the global challenges.
The first exhibition in 2018 was called From Nature to Future. It presents visionary concepts made out of natural raw materials. Altogether 22 design students from Aalto University took the challenge to imagine a more sustainable future by developing their own biomaterials.
