About
We curated an exhibition inside an abandoned building on campus, exploring what a zero-waste society could look like. My group imagined four characters, each representing a voice often unheard in today’s spatial decisions. Together, they created a debate across time and perspective, questioning how we design, build, consume, and reuse space.

Brief
Designing a baby shampoo bottle that goes beyond being a container to become part of the experience, engaging for babies, practical for parents, and thoughtful in both form and function.
Our Vision
We envisioned a world with a collective voice where local cultures remain strong but interconnected through shared prosperity.
We imagined a zero-waste society that recognizes the rights of all nature, people, and architecture and builds toward coexistence instead of consumption.

The Four Roles
Our Vision
What happens when nothing, not even space, can be wasted?
In our exhibition at Maarintalo, these four voices met to argue for the building’s fate — to preserve, rewild, reuse, or adapt.
The discussion turned spatial design into an ethical act and invited visitors to imagine architecture as something alive.
Present
The Present Room represented our current world, confronting visitors with the problems and tensions of today’s society. It aimed to make people more aware of issues that often go unnoticed in everyday life.
Past
The Past Room unfolded as a dystopian world, filled with unsettling sounds and visuals. It immersed visitors in the consequences of human neglect, overconsumption, and abandonment, creating a space that made them feel the weight of those choices.
The Future Room envisioned a utopian world that was calm and reflective. Visitors were invited to question themselves and experience a moment of self-doubt and realization. It was here that the urgency of the topic truly surfaced, encouraging people to imagine what a responsible and conscious future could look like.
