Time out! Rethinking construction
The construction sector is affecting climate, ecosystems, humans, and non-humans every day – and mostly in negative ways. At Aalto University, we’re calling time out!

We easily settle for ‘less bad’, believing that massive changes are out of our hands. But the truth is, we can’t afford less bad. We need to rethink the entire approach to building.
What if we tended the existing and only built new in a way that benefits the planet – if we built at all? The exhibition challenges the status quo of the construction sector and lays out three steps to keep the built environment within planetary boundaries. The exhibited projects provide practical examples of construction methods that draw their inspiration from nature as well as ancient cultures.
