With its distinctive wave-shaped roof and absence of right angles, the striking 2,150-square-foot building served for decades as both home and studio, where the couple lived and created alongside each other. Self-designed in collaboration with an engineer friend, the open-plan space is lined with seamless rows of windows, connecting it with its natural surroundings. The Kukkapurosโ€™ daughter and granddaughter have recently embarked on a renovation project to transform the home into a museum, scheduled for completion in 2026. We will enjoy an exclusive tour of this remarkable space, where countless examples of Yrjรถ Kukkapuroโ€™s iconic furniture designs are on display. Among them is the Karuselli lounge chair (1964), famously described by British designer Terence Conran as โ€œthe most comfortable chair in the world.โ€ Also featured are Kukkapuroโ€™s Perhonen (Butterfly) plexiglass floor lamps, created in the 1980s as an ingenious response to the home's lack of ceiling light fixtures. ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐’๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐›๐ฒ ๐…๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐’๐ก๐จ๐ฉ.

Inspired by a visit to Beth Chattoโ€™s pioneering dry garden in the East of England, Jo has designed a garden that can withstand drought and requires little, if any, watering. Today it is considered a test ground for dry-loving plants from many parts of the globe, including New Zealand.

Blending colour with a strong sense of local identity and a commitment to growing local flora, this garden succeeds visually by making a seamless connection between its dramatic surroundings and an ornamental version of ecologically appropriate planting.

Sultan Ahmed I had a disciple of Sinan build the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in the early 17th century, and in 1609 the Sultan himself dug the first piece of turf. It is known commonly as the Blue Mosque due to the predominant colour of the ceramic tiles which decorate its interior. The over 50 designs of these tiles, together with their great number, put such a strain on the Iznik kilns that they never fully recovered. The mihrab and minbar are of intricately carved white marble, while the doors and shutters of the 260 windows (originally of Venetian glass) are of carved wood inlaid with tortoise shell, ivory and mother-of-pearl. The interplay of vivid blues and natural light in this vast mosque is breathtaking and since the time of its opening in 1617, it has been the most popular mosque in the city.

The earliest dynasty, known as the Badami Chalukyas, ruled the western Deccan coastal plain from their capital Vatapi (modern Badami) from c. 540 to 757; their second capital, nearby Pattadakal, became their coronation city.

๐Ÿชท The early phase began in the last quarter of the 6th century and resulted in many cave temples, prominent among which are three elementary cave temples at Aihole followed by four developed cave temples at Badami.
๐ŸชทThe second phase of temple building was also at Aihole and Badami. Though the exact dating of these temples has been debated, there is consensus that the beginnings of these constructions are from c. 600. ๐ŸชทThe structural temples at Pattadakal, built in the 8th century and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, marks the culmination and mature phase of Badami Chalukyan architecture. The Bhutanatha group of temples at Badami are also from this period.

During the 8th century, the town fell under Muslim rule and was known as Sharish, after the Gum Rockrose plant that flourished there. The name evolved, morphing from Xaraz to Monte Xaraz and ultimately to Monsaraz, meaning โ€œthe hill surrounded by Gum Rockroseโ€.

The townโ€™s strategic location made it a vital fortress, and in 1232 King Sancho II (1223-1247) reclaimed it and placed it under the guardianship of the Knights Templar. They were tasked with establishing a garrison to defend the border. Today, the townโ€™s narrow streets, lined with whitewashed houses, lead to its 14th-century castle. Ascend the ramparts and be captivated by panoramic views: to the east, the Guadiana River flows along the border with Spain, and to the west, the vast plains of the Alentejo stretch out before you.

๐Ÿ’  Art Nouveau is an ornamental style that flourished across Europe and the United States between 1890 and 1910, leaving a lasting imprint on architecture, graphic arts, and decorative crafts such as jewellery and glass. One of the pioneers of this influential movement was the Belgian architect and designer Victor Pierre Horta. In 2000, four of his buildings in Brussels were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, including his own townhouse and studio, which became Belgiumโ€™s first private residence to be transformed into a museum following his death in 1947. We also visit the Hรดtel van Eetvelde, reopened to the public in 2023 to mark the 130th anniversary of Art Nouveauโ€™s emergence in Brussels. The house features the recently restored glass dome of its winter garden, an emblematic example of Hortaโ€™s preoccupation with introducing natural light into buildings. Watch this video on Horta's Architectural legacy and the Origins of Art Nouveau produced by HENI Talks.

Our Story

Australians Studying Abroad pioneered international educational tourism from Australia. It runs public educational tours and university credit courses to over 40 countries. All ASA tours reflect a belief that learning is as much an act of imagination and experience as a garnering of information, based on the assumption that an intimate relationship exists between geography, history and culture. Our tours aim to give you unique insights into different cultural traditions by travelling to the places where each tradition evolved, and tracing how climate, geography, demography and politics interact to create specific types of art and culture. The physical experience of different landscapes, environments and communities that generate myriad colours, sounds and scents is the first step to understanding different cultures and enjoying these diverse places.
