Aalto Beyond Finland - Architecture and Design

Tutkijaverkoston toinen tapaaminen, vuoden 2015 tutkijakonferenssi Aalto beyond Finland. Architecture and Design järjestettiin 16.–18.2.2015 Rovaniemen kaupungintalolla. Konferenssin järjesti Alvar Aalto -säätiö yhteistyössä Rovaniemen kaupungin kanssa.

Tutkijakonferenssin tieteelliseen työryhmään kuuluvat Alvar Aalto -akatemian johtaja Esa Laaksonen, professori Panu Lehtovuori (Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto), professori Aino Niskanen (Aalto-yliopisto) ja FT Silvia Micheli (The University of Queensland School of Architecture, Australia). Konferenssin kieli oli englanti.

Ohjelmaan valittiin 36 tutkielmaa useiden keynote-puheenvuorojen lisäksi. Tutkijat tulivat eri puolilta maailmaa ja tutkimusaiheissa käsiteltiin monipuolisesti Alvar Aallon elämäntyön vaikutusta ulkomailla. Keynote-luennoijat olivat Alvar Aallon työtä tuntevia koti- ja ulkomaisia asiantuntijoita.

Tapahtumaan liittyi kaksi vapaavalintaista ja lisämaksullista ekskursiota. Ensimmäisessä tutustuttiin 18.–20.2.2015 Oulun, Seinäjoen ja Alajärven arkkitehtuuriin. Tutustumiskohteista pääosa oli Alvar Aallon suunnittelemia ja retki päättyi Helsinkiin. Toinen ekskursio oli päiväretki Alvar Aallon kirjastoon Viipuriin 21.2.2015.

Seminaarista on toimitettu julkaisu Aalto Beyond Finland – Architecture and Design.
