Alvar Aalto Musem

The most important person in Jyväskylä.

Today we have finished the lessons at 11.30, the we went to lunch (We usually have lunch here about 11.30-12.00........really crazy), and after luch some of us have gone to Alvar Aalto Museum.


Inside the museum.

It's a nice place, really interesting, of couse if you like architecture. This man is really important here, he lived most of his lived in Jyväskylä, and died in 1976.


Aalto`s glassware designed.

The ticket cost 2 €, there are a lot of information about his life and his designs. He was a great architect, famous in Finland because he knew how mix the nature of central Finland (forests, plants and extremely green colour), with the finnish wood, the light and the typical finnish houses.



Aalto designed a lot of differents things, not just buildings, like chairs, glassware and fourniture.


Some chairs

You also can watch a movie, about his life, but in my opinion is better read the text about the buildings. There are a lot of interesting buildings, from churches and sanatoriums to flats and experimental houses.




Obviously, you can't see the buildings in the museum, just some models about these.



Aalto said about build houses in Finland: "In a climate like Finland's, a private house where the owners want the light, the prospect from various rooms, the lie of the terraces and the windbreaks to be as advantageously arranged as possible cannot help but be full of angles and outside walls. That means the insulation has to be thought out more carefully than usual, because the normal arrangement is not effective enough. A wooden structure means that economy is still possible, even when unusually heavy externall was insulation is needed..... "



There are amazing structures, mostly of them builded in wood, that is typical of Finland. It's a great material about its heatering propierties.



In my opinion, Aalto's furniture is quite nice, y really like his chairs and tables, there are very suitable for finnish kind of light.
