This week, I participated in a seminar with Professor Cartwright, Jari Jetsonen; our guest lecturer from Finland, and 8 other U of O students to construct 2 exhibition quality models of Aalto’s summer houses, Muurasalto (the experimental house) and Villa Flora . The two models will be included in the exhibition curated by Jari and Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen in collaboration with the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Alvar Aalto Museum. We spent the week in the furniture design studio and barely finished up the models in time for their departure.
A closer look at the brick courtyard of the Experimental House.
The first exhibit with the new models is in Seattle at the Nordic Heritage Museum
Roussa,
The models are now in the permanent collection of the Finnish Architectural Museum.
Congratulations on good work!
