Otakaari 2
Building of Marsio & 2B to began in February 2022, to be completed in 2023-2024.
Otakaari 2A is approximately 6,500 brm2 of state-of-the-art multifunctional space for teaching, research, art projects, productions, events and visits. All the spaces in this building utilise digital creative media technologies in a plethora of ways.
Construction began at the end of February 2022, with a plan to open the doors at the end of 2023. The building will serve the whole Aalto university and our key stakeholders, providing a platform that enables radical creativity, experimentation, and novel thinking. The key areas for teaching and research are virtualization (human & environment), visual computing, computer games, AR/VR/MR/XR applications, user-experience, AI in design and art & future cities.
We are looking for an iconic name with a global audience in mind, something that would bring alive the special characteristics of this building described above and in the walkthrough below. Ideally, it would be an easily pronounceable name that would work quite universally, taking into account the diversity of our community and stakeholders. However, the suggestions can also include separate Finnish, English and Swedish name options.
