The vision of public art at Aalto University
In 2017, Aalto University implemented a one per cent art principle in its building projects. The campus art competition is the university’s fifth project in which approximately one per cent of a building project's allocation is allocated to art purchases. The one per cent art principle was first applied to the Radical Nature art concept in Aalto University’s main building, Dipoli.
The vision of public art at Aalto University is to address and raise questions about what it is to be a university, what we do together in society, and what constitutes the public. Public art is site-specific and connects with the diversity of the university and its post-disciplinary communities. Public artworks reflect this diversity through different art forms, materials, techniques and traditions.
Global Equality Art Collection at Väre
Artworks in Väre remind us of the power of art in its ability to explore and expose diverse sociocultural and natural phenomena.
Love and poetry - the artists were inspired by the passion conveyed by the university's research
Engineering Materials, an art collection for K1, K2, and K3 buildings, was published
The Human Approach – art collection at the School of Business
The theme of the art concept that the one per cent art principle was applied to is Human Approach.
