at Kyamk. Next week there‘s the Oscar Gala

organised by the business students, and the

Design Market is the traditional Christmas

event at Kyamk. In the next week‘s issue

you‘ll be able to read all about the Design

Market, the organisers and what it‘s all about.

If you‘re up for some sweet stuff, thinking long

fully of the summers past, do try out Anna‘s

muffin recipe and toss yourself into memories

of the sun on your skin and warm grass be-

neath your feet.

Till next time, enjoy the last sparks of the

orange an red hues of autumn and bundle

up, winter‘s coming!

Hi all! Back after the (too)short holiday

week, we are back and in full force.

In this week‘s issue you can read about a fun

trip to Lahti which the Game Designers took

a few weeks back. You‘ll get to see some cool

old cars and find out where you can see more

of them, and some old planes as well.

Right before the holiday week there was ano-

ther of the infamous Appro student „parties“.

Sarah writes about pros and cons of Appro,

what it is and gets you all set for the next one.

You might be surprised to see a two pager of

posters. These are some big upcoming events

A PROPOS-APPRO

4

The last party before the short yet hopeful-

ly relaxing holiday was, of course, Appro. It

is a fixer part during every semester.

Every student knows it and every freshman

has heard stories about it, for better or for

worse. It sets itself apart from all the other

Kupla parties by being the one that actually

tests your durability under the influence of

alcohol.

How one can actually hold his or her liquor

and who will be the one hugging the toilet

at some point during the evening. Despite it

being such a traditional and often repeated

theme it also seems to be the only theme no

student has complained about it happening

over and over again. Maybe that is due to

most of them not being able to remember the

events of the previous night come morning

or because drinking as the theme of a party

being also the best theme for a party.

New this time around was not just the after

party commencing in the newly opened club

Lux, but also special batches for the most

able to hold a drink to sew onto their overalls.

It was certainly an evening to remember. Af-

ter all the best stories never start with: „Dude,

hold my tea, I‘m going to do a thing...“ And

an evening spend drinking is an evening well

spend - as long as you do it reasonably.

PUUDOO BUS STOP

Most of you must probably notice

that there is a new bus stop bench

on Kasarminmäki campus this year

(FYI: It was not there last year!).

Fortunately, we had the chance to

talk to Dario Vidal, one of the project

team members of the bus bench to

see the stories behind that work.

The idea was initially from Matti-

Vaskimo‘s thesis, and the team took

the project idea over for Wood Aca-

5

demy to produce the actual piece in 2012. Ho-

wever, it did not start right away because of pa-

per work from the city council until last summer.

The good point of the project, as Dario told us,

is that they did everything themselves in the

school, from assembling to the constructing.

Most of you may not know that the bus stop is

named PuuDoo. Puu means “wood” in Finnish

and Doo represents the doing, executing.

The wave surface of the work is the sine waves

– there are 8 of them and are done in mathe-

matical formula. Even if it‘s not as

comfortable as an office chair to sit,

the team had had good feedback

from our students. For the team, the

whole work represents the school

spirit and they hope in the future

there will be more works to be dis-

played like this one.

You can even check the time-lapse

video of the bus stop assemblling

on Insider‘s Facebook page!

FIELD TRIP TO LAHTI

6

“You’re in the middle of the field in the barn which is full of

historical aircrafts” sounds nice. But “You’re in the middle

of the field in the barn which is full of historical aircrafts, but

you’re freezing and it’s raining” sounds not that inspirati-

onal for drawing anything at all. So we just watched some

great aircrafts, that represented the spirit of war way better

then pictures in Google do.

And yes, we were allowed to get inside the aircrafts which

made the biggest impression to all of us. Interesting thing

is that both museums are a private property. Nice to know

people in Finland have both desire and opportunity to take

care about some very important things, that were used to

create the modern world as we see it now.

If you are interested about going to either one of the-

se museums now, you can get more information on:

antinautomuseo.fi or vialahdenilmasilta@gmail.com.

On the 09th of September in the program of our Game

Desig nResearch and Sketching course our class had

planned a field trip to Lahti.

Our first stop was a car museum, Antin Automuseo, in-

Vesivehmaa just outside of Lahti. A big two-floored barn

doesn’t really look like a museum from outside, but once

you enter it a splendid variety of retro cars grows in front of

you. We had about an hour worth of time to make sketches

of a number of rather old timey cars before moving onto the

next museum. When the sketches were ready the museum

owners took a look at some of them.

That perfect feeling when somebody’s so impressed by the

drawing that they eventually ask you to send it to them

via e-mail so that your work can be proudly hanged on the

wall next to the car itself. KYAMK should be proud of its

students. The next stop of our trip was the Aviation muse-

um filled with aircrafts used during the Second World War.

Although we were supposed to make some sketches here

as well, we were not able to do that because of the weather.

Patteri Network is creating opportunities and reaching

out everywhere. Most recently, they had a young visitor

interested in Kyamk and Patteri. She spent some time

at Kyamk and the Patteri office, meeting the staff and

doing different things. Her name is Pauliina Palmu and

here is a short interview about her and her experience

at Kyamk.

Pauliina, tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am Pauliina Palmu and I am 15 years old. I am at the

High-School here in Kouvola called Kankaan koulu, before

I was at the “Yhteiskoulu” but as most people know, it

burned down. So, now we are at the other school. It is my

last year at the High-School next year I will go to “Lukio”.

After my graduation I would like to apply to Kyamk.

What are you planning to study at Kyamk?

I would like to study Media, photography especially.

What are your interests?

I love photography. I also like singing and I like to go to

the Gym, my plan is to go to a Fitness Model competition

when I am ready for it.

It is great to hear that you already have great plans for

your future. Why did you come to Kyamk now and how

long are staying?

I will stay for a week at Kyamk. At my school we have this

project call Introduction to the working life, and we can

take a look how a normal day at work looks like. So I could

come to Kyamk and take a look what is happening here

and meet all kind of interesting people.

So I guess you really enjoy your time here? What did

PATTERI NETWORK

you see so far and what kind of impression you have?

Yes, I really enjoy my time here, Satu (Peltola) is showing

me around. I also saw how the exam week works, the Paja

workshops, joining lessons and today I am with Patteri.

What do you think about Patteri and who did you meet?

Well, I met Antti, he is a really a nice guy and today I am

with Sabine, she is also very nice and she showed me a lot

of their material they made during their events. It is really

nice to watch all the videos they made and the pictures.

This is really what is interesting to me the most. She also

offered me an internship during the summer, and I am

really excited about it.

That sounds really interesting, can you tell us what you

are doing at the internship?

Patteri will have next summer again the “Summer Camp”

and I will be there again for a week. My job will be taking

photos during the Camp and also to make my first profes-

sional videos, which is very exciting. They will show me

how all the cutting and editing of the video will work and

also what I need to make it happen. It is great that they

gave me the chance to do it.

Well, that sounds awesome. What you will tell your

friends about Kyamk?

That I had really a great time. I met a lot of great people

and it is a fun place to study.

Thank you Pauliina for the interview it was a pleasure to

meet you, and I guess we will see you around pretty soon!

A Most Wanted Men is a British espionage thriller based on the book by John le Carre.

The almost tortured to death Russian-Chechen Issa Karpov turned up in Hamburg. While

searching for the illegally obtained inheritance of his father he finds refuge with the Islamic

community. The young and idealistic criminal defence lawyer Annabel Richter ends up

helping Issa, as well as the banker Tommy Brue who watches over the fortune of Issa’s

father.

His activities soon grab the attention of the leader of a German espionage unit, Günther

Bachmann, as well as that of CIA agent Martha Sullivan. In the course of the movie Issa

appears to be the victim, perpetrator, imposter and extremist fanatic in one person who

makes him the most wanted man.

This highly emotional, action-driven movie won‘t let you go until the very last minute, at

which point you may become really frustrated and angry. Then again, it is a superbly made,

intelligent espionage story that comes across more contemporary than most movies of this

category nowadays. It is a story about compassion, betrayal, power and the modern post

9/11 world we live in. The promise of the „Große Freiheit“ of Hamburg appears to shrink

in a world filled with uncertainty and mistrust. All in all, a brilliantly made movie.
