The background of Living+ was
Aalto’s role in the World Design Capital
Helsinki year 2012 with the emphasis on
‘better life’.
Living+
How?
–devotion to welfare, focus on
users and services, towards
research with prototypes
Living+
Who?
–Cross-disciplinary
groupwork is a strategic
emphasis of the
university.
Living+
Why?
–The Human-based environment is in itself an old
theme, connected to the solving of the problems
of the industralization in the 19th century,
developing housing circumstances and
humanitarian advancement. The solutions for
these challenges have been most of all laws, rules
and norms created by official authorities and
politicians.
Contrasting with this authoritarian top-down
principle, the Living+ targets to wellbeing from the
grassroots viewpoint of an active user.

PROGRAM IS IN
