The potential of a handprint is unlimited.” (Jon Biemer, 2013) Aalto WiT (World in Transition) LAB is a network of researchers and projects at Aalto University, focusing on resilient communities, humanitarian architecture, sustainable technologies and grass roots action. It supports two educational master’s level programmes; SGT (Sustainable Global Technology) and IoC (Interplay of Cultures) where architecture, engineering, design and business students contribute to sustainable development. Each year, students take part in real-life projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America to study the diverse connections between sustainability, technology, cultural and societal challenges.| Period | 28 Feb 2019 |
