April 26: Southern Finland tour – Jyväskylä University 1
Jyväskylä University is one of the top universities in the country. Many of the buildings on the main campus were designed by Aalto (who came from Jyväskylä) and built in the 50s. Some of the spatial relationships in these are inspired by the Acropolis or Mediterranean hill towns.
