The students work in two different studios at Otakaari 7: the sewing studio and the FabLab. The sewing studio provides the space for cutting, sewing, and fitting, while the FabLab gives the students the opportunity to explore technology prototyping. &#8221;All the different facilities at the Studios gives a great opportunity to develop our projects&#8221; explains Nicolina Stylianov, and ads that she was surprised by the many possibilities.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-2581 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/pk5a1390-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PK5A1390-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/pk5a1393-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PK5A1393-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/img_0689-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_0689-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Collaboration beyond faculties <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The students are not only getting challenged by working with new disciplines but also working in multi-discipline teams. A light design student called Lauri Lundahl points out: &#8221;This course and the facilities gives us endless possibilities and it could, therefore, be interesting for most students to be a part of the projects&#8221;. He is a part of a team with a choreographer and costume design student. Many of the students have never worked with electronics before, but the multi-discipline teams create an environment for peer-to-peer learning, since the students have different approaches to the task.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An untouched potential of costume design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The students attending the Wearable Electronics only have tree week to produce a piece of performer-technology and the course is, therefore, focused on experimentation and exploring. The end presentation is held at Kipsari Backstage where the 5 teams presented their work. The students that had not worked with electronics before, had in only three weeks made remarkable pieces and showed that there is a great potential in the future of wearable electronics.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-2581 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/pk5a1446-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PK5A1446-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/pk5a1503-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PK5A1503-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Aalto studios at Otakaari 7 students from four different backgrounds are working together to make technology, the body, and cloth work together in harmony.
