During the lunch that followed, three guiding questions encouraged the participants to approach the theme of human-centered living environments from several perspectives.
Wrapping up the discussions revealed that human-centered living environments are considered to be a highly interesting and acute research area in several schools at Aalto. Inviting researchers to similar events was considered to remain important also in the future.
