1728. University of Jyväskylä. The Teachers Training School and the Main Building in the background

Dear Ilkka,

When designing the plans for the Jyväskylä Institute 

of Pedagogics in 1951 Aalto envisioned this place to 

become the "Athens of the North" as he was inspired 

by the Greek Acropolis layout.

Sincerely,
R
