3/3 A note of caution too: the approach, while necessary to foster a nuanced understanding of the socio materiality of #energytransitions, is insufficient to trigger a comprehensive institutional shift on its own. After 6 rounds of revisions great its out there 😅 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

1/3 Renewable energy technologies 🌞 created through collective design efforts can do more than provide clean energy🔌 They can actively mediate relations, highlight the value of collective action and flag issues, enabling communities to ‘make energy together’.

Niilo Tenkanen's thesis, which explores human behavior through “easily stolen chairs” left around the city, was featured in Helsingin Sanomat. The surprising outcomes of this project highlight the power of design in public spaces. Kudos to Niilo and his supervisors Andrea Botero & Simo Puntila!

“Do not act falsely and terror […] will not consume you. “Do not slander, and you will not ponder grief. “Do not commit evil, and you will not gain eternal distress.” Proverbs from ancient Mesopotamia preserved on a broken clay tablet.
Photo of a fragment of a clay tablet, which is the bottom portion of what was once a tablet with 3 columns of cuneiform text. It is photographed from the front, sides, and bottom, all displayed on the same image. There are parts lf three columns of cuneiform text presented. The bottom of the tablet which is pictured at the bottom of the image has museum identifiers written on the tablet which are “K. 4374” and “K. 8377”. The tablet appears black in parts suggesting it was burnt in antiquity.
