Mr. Jari who is modeler also photographer has held a Alver Aalto's House Model Workshop in Nihon University. I also have joined as a assistant for Jari.
The material is "Wood". Even students who usually make models by styrene foam boad have been at a loss. Especially for tecnology students who have no wood carriculum, it might be precious experience. Unique models have been completed one after another with "Jari Typhoon".
　 All 6 teams

　・Aalto's Own House and Studio
　　Nihon Univ. Tec. + Sugino G. Univ.
　・Maison Carre (Site)
　　Nihon Univ. Art
　・Maison Carre (Section)
　 Nihon Univ. Art
　・Experimental House (Site)
　　Nihon Univ. Pro.Tec
　・Experimental House (Section)
　　Tokyo Art Univ.
　・Villa Skeppet
　　Nihon Univ. Art

Huge site model, elaborate furniture, solid wood site, unique section model and so on. Each team has been making Aalto's house models by each unique way. Many studies have done with a few remained drawings, photographs and Jari's memory. I suppose that one of the best harvest at this time was to be able to discover Aalto's hidden design approach by these studies.
Students who were in tense for the first time have been frank with Jari step by step, and Jari also has improved his Japanese. After final critic, we have drunk all night with students in Ekoda, and at last Jari has gone back to Finland.
A diploma from Jari to students;

"Arigatou. Jari-gatou. Jari"

"Jari-gatou" likely to mean also "Jari goes away" in Finnish.
