Infinite Materials
We need to radically cut our consumption of materials and energy by creating materials that are not just renewable but forever reusable.
Nubia:No More
As a part of the Designs for a Cooler Planet event, the Nubia: No More exhibition opens a discussion on Nubian vernacular architecture while comparing it to the modern-day use of earthen architecture, explaining the phenomena of abandoning vernacular architectural practices, and finally elaborating the destructive outcome of High Aswan Dam. Displacement is a traumatic experience that happened to Nubian communities, but it is still occurring worldwide to numerous other communities, and it is essential to understand the repercussion such actions have in the long term.
This research project is a collaboration between Aalto University and the University of Helsinki - the “Building Identities in Border Areas: Cultures, Narratives and Architecture” is a pilot project focusing on Nubian heritage funded by the Future Fund, University of Helsinki.
See you there!

Better to Wear
We get dressed each and every day: clothes protect us and help us express ourselves. We can dress better when we re-design the whole textile process from manufacturing to use to recycling.
