This year’s World Design Capital is Taipei in Taiwan. Having been World Design Capital in 2012, Helsinki is participating in the WDC2016 programme under the educational theme of “New School Helsinki”.
New School Helsinki refers to a new and innovative way of looking at schools. New School Helsinki presents digital learning solutions, smart buildings, adaptable interiors and solutions to improve indoor air.
One of the main events in Taipei’s World Design Capital programme is the Adaptive City exhibition, in which Helsinki is participating along with the likes of Cape Town (World Design Capital 2014) and Mexico City (World Design Capital 2018).
Designers Klaus and Elina Aalto have designed an interactive exhibition space that visitors can help build. New School Helsinki provides visitors with a virtual experience of the Kalasatama School and learning situations. The virtual experience was created by Helsinki start-up company Teatime Research. The international Adaptive City exhibition is expected to attract between 800,000 and 1,000,000 visitors.
Helsinki is keen to promote its international reputation as a centre of educational expertise. To support Finnish exports, Finpro together with the City of Helsinki and Helsinki Business Hub is organising a New School Helsinki business satellite event on 14 October, following which Helsinki Mayor Jussi Pajunen will host a stakeholder event for invited guests.
Anne Stenros, who started in her position as Helsinki’s Chief Design Officer in September, and Mayor Jussi Pajunen will present a joint talk at the Design Policy Conference in Taipei. The heads of the cities participating in the Adaptive City exhibition will also convene at the Cities Meeting seminar. Kari Korkman, Director of Helsinki Design Week, in turn will represent Helsinki at Taipei’s International Design Week Forum, at which the directors of design week events around the world will convene.
International Design House Exhibition 13.–30.10.
