Upcoming:
Aug 2025: Aalto Summer School “Designing with Nature for Sustainability”
This course critically presents varied perspectives on multispecies, more-than-human and planet-centric approaches that have emerged in design and other disciplines. It views the approach of including and considering natural nonhumans as an important mechanism for shifting conversations from purely human-centric, economy-driven solutions towards a world in which multispecies flourishing is possible.
