Your main shopping place!

Now if your a shopaholic, this post is for you.

I tried a few shopping malls but found hansakortteli was the best mall in Turku, this has everything from your lowkey shops to your high-end designer shops.

Hansakortteli is right in the heart of the city centre so it is very easy to find, every single bus you can think of goes here so you cannot get lost, you can even walk there if you're as far as Varissuo.

The mall itself is very pretty and warm inside, there are coffee shops, food courts, fast food and seating areas.

Finnish design - Virtual Class

I did not think i would be very interested in this lecture, but i was proven VERY wrong! This lecture was a great insight to some more Finnish culture and Finnish design! 

We learnt about many Finnish designers such as 
-Alvar Allto 
- Fero Saarinen
- Reima Pietila 
- Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen 

These various designers have designed buildings all over the world such as 
- Helsinki
- Denmark
-Sweden
-USA
-Germany 
-Croatia 
-Estonia 
These certain designers have built many things ranging from buildings, statues and even furniture. 

The teacher also told us some of her favourite designers and some who she got her inspiration from. 
Some of the designers we were told about were professors in schools or universities which i found interesting, did they quit their jobs to become designers? were they professors in design? So many questions.

This topic is very new to me and although i did not understand most of it, it was very intriguing and i would love to learn more about design. 

I didn't seem to notice a lot of female designers in this lecture, mostly men. I genuinely thought it would be mostly women, i was wrong. 

Again i will definitely been looking more into Finnish design in my own time as i enjoyed this lecture a lot.
