Type-house models for HAM
The type-house models take part of the exhibition Modern Life at Ham. It showcases the success story of Finnish architecture and design.
After the Second World War the standard system for house design took on great potency, with the creation of the so-called Rintamamiestalo house (literally: War-front soldier’s house). Basic timber constructed houses with rooms concentrated around a central chimney were meant to solve the housing shortage. Many types were build all over Finland in vast numbers. Plans and construction drawings were provided free of charge.
This exhibition displays two different types. Visitors can assemble them using magnets.
