Mi experiencia educativa en Finlandia

From my point of view, the most amazing collection of Aalto philosophy of design is able to be found in the Aalto Museum of Jyväskylä . We went there couple of weekends ago, and it was, from the city, what I liked the most. It is located close to the University,   it  is sited on a slope leading down towards Lake Jyväsjärvi . Completed in  1973 , the building, together with the Museum of Central Finland (Alvar Aalto 1961) form a centre of culture in the vicinity of the University of Jyväskylä (Alvar Aalto   1951-1971). We had to pay a 2€ fee for the access, (with the student discount) and we were there for 2 hours (and another 45 minutes in the café), so trust me when I say that it is worth visiting.

One measuring tape designed by artek and a new moleskine, is there any better place to start a new moleskine than in Aalto Muse...

La Universidad de Jyväskylä ( Yjäskylän Ylioposto en finés) es también conocida como la ciudad de las ciencias y las artes, por la cantidad de centros educativos que posee. Fundada en 1934, comenzó llamándose "Escuela Superior de Ciencias Pedagógicas" hasta que en 1966 se le cambió el nombre por el que conserva actualmente. Universidad adaptada al paso del tiempo, su prestigio internacional se debe a la calidad de la enseñanza, al igual que en las Universidades de Helsinki y Tampere.  El espíritu cultural de la ciudad de Jväskylä se refleja claramente a través de los campues, en sus jardines y edificios. Obra de Alvar Aalto y Arto Sipinen. En esta entrada os quiero mostrar la aportación de Aalto al campus de la ciudad en le vio crecer, con el objetivo de que podáis comparar este campus con el de Otaniemi Plan general.

Last weekend we did a super fast trip to Jyväskylä. Too short for all the stuff we wanted to see, so I guess we should return as I can't miss Alvar Aalto master pieces in Säynätsalo and its surroundings. It was a bit messy, and as I forgot all the information about the trip at home we had to make several phone calls to be able to know the name of the hostel, the address...but finally we made it. We got there by regular train, and we took our bikes with us (tho once there we realized that renting the bikes at Aalto Museum is 10€ first day, but we would have taken the risk that they were all rented...) In Finland every single thing is thought to be done by bike, it is amazing. (taking the bike is 9€ each way) and the trains are very comfortable. Our bikes in the train. Finland is awesome! Some troubles trying to find the hostel... As we were going up and down through the city by bike we took the opportunity to visit random places around it and also some interesting...
