A story of how a tiny municipality solved the school space problem and became a pioneer in wooden architecture and a promoter of a modern learning environment. "Every architect can name a few special projects that remind us why we chose this work in the first place. I always include Heinävaara School, as does Judy Hoskens, our project manager, who in a separate article shares her personal memories of this happy architectural adventure. We have recently made it a company goal to work with clients who seek us out. Kiihtelysvaara is an outstanding example of such a client.After 20 years, I still recall my reaction when Judy and Bruce Jilk, our education planner, told me that Cuningham Group was being considered to design a wood-frame school in Finland. I couldn't believe it. What could a community in the land of Alvar Aalto, with its vast forests and varied forest industries, possibly need from architects in Minnesota?Today the answer is obvious…" (John Cuningham, FAIA, Founder, Cuningham Group Architecture, Inc.) "I can say that I have experienced the adventure of a lifetime when I took part in the steering group of the construction project of Heinävaara wooden school. This event lasted 18 months and it had a great importance for me still being a class teacher in a elementry school. I had already planned to acquire a new profession. The awareness of the possibilities that the open space learning environment brought to the new kind of organization of the educational activity and to the reform of school culture and pedagogic thinking swept me off my feet already in the planning phase of the school. UNPARALLELED ADVENTURE " (Saila Paulioclass teacher in Heinävaara open space school)

Tiny Homes In a Big City, by Reverend Faith Fowler is the story of Cass Community Social Services, a Detroit based nonprofit that is in the process of building a neighborhood of 25 different Tiny Homes in the northwest part of the city. The homes are being built to allow extremely low-income individuals a way to eventually own their own homes. This is the only rent-then-own tiny home development in the United States.In Detroit, the qualifying residents will have a combination of experiences; formerly homeless people, senior citizens, young adults who have aged out of foster care and a few Cass Community Social Service staff members, all with annual incomes of between $8,000 and $14,000. Like its residents, each tiny home is architecturally unique, no two being built exactly the same.Detroit's tiny home residents will initially rent the homes for $1.00 per square foot, per month. With the homes ranging from approximately 250-400 square feet each; no resident will pay more than a third of his/her income. After seven years of timely rent payments program participation, the individuals will own their homes and property which are expected to be valued between $40,000 and $50,000 each.In Tiny Homes In a Big City, Reverend Fowler, Executive Director of Cass Community Social Services, responds to inquiries from other nonprofits and government officials who seek to replicate the Detroit program. She explains how the decision to build the Tiny Homes was made, provides a comparison with other organizations that have used tiny houses for people experiencing homelessness, explains the philosophy behind their plan and offers the logistics of building the homes - from the idea's infancy through occupation. The book also provides online feedback, positive, negative and questions that were received when a video about the project went viral in the fall of 2016.
