The stoa, a covered outdoor walkway used for public debate in ancient Greece, inspired Finnish architect Alvar Aalto to design several stoas for the Otaniemi campus. Between 2015 and 2020, as Aalto University’s campus underwent rapid development, students played an active role in shaping its architectural and urban design. Aalto Stoa served as a platform to showcase their proposals, encourage discussion, and highlight the value of student ideas in the campus transformation. Group X has now completed Aalto Stoa, and it has been archived for future historians. Explore it here.
