Makers of the Impossible – Designs for a Cooler Planet 2024
Many things we now take for granted seemed impossible just a few years or decades ago.
The Designs for a Cooler Planet 2024 theme 'Makers of the Impossible' encourages you to dream big, roll up your sleeves and start experimenting. We talk a lot about our footprints, yet a more sustainable future is shaped by our hands, in the now.
In our current quest for perfection, we often overlook potential solutions and ignore the beauty of fading, aging and irregularity.
Challenge your perception of the possible by exploring the handprints of the Aalto community's cross-disciplinary experiments.
The exhibition was organised 6 Sept – 3 Oct 2024. It reached over 10,000 visitors, showcasing nearly 20 exhibitions and over 30 events.
