The Future of Industry poster has been designed for the international Alvar Aalto Symposium in Jyväskylä on 12–13 August 2021. The main themes of this 15th symposium are industrial buildings and architecture, industrial environments in the structure of society, and the role of industrial architecture as a developer of a region’s identity and values. The picture in the poster shows the Sunila industrial area, which Aalto designed. The posters are replicas printed on uncoated, high-quality paper made in Sweden from wood that meets EU Ecolabel standards. They are delivered in stylish and durable black poster tubes.
