Pyk\u00e4list\u00f6 is a cultural oasis of light and contemporary art<\/h1>\n

The Pyk\u00e4list\u00f6 area has been built for two decades. The area was originally VR’s guard room area, which was harnessed for new use in 1898. The area had an old railway guard’s guard room, an outbuilding and a ground cellar. The original buildings were made according to the type drawings of architect Bruno Granholm, as are many other buildings on the Haapam\u00e4ki-Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4-Suolahti railway.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the badly dilapidated buildings required a lot of work, and restoration work began in the spring of 1999. The restoration project was implemented in co-operation with the National Board of Antiquities and the City of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Building Supervision Authority. The Pyk\u00e4list\u00f6 with its wooden buildings, which threatens national romance and Nikkar style, was revived with the restorations.<\/p>\n

The next steps in the area were to build a workspace that seamlessly adapted to the spirit of the place, and to acquire train carriages. There are four train carriages and they serve as exhibition spaces. The place has been purposefully developed from year to year, and the work done in front of the place has given the place a very unique spirit. It is hard to believe that you are a ten-minute drive from the center of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4. The pictures speak for themselves, but the spirit has to be experienced on the spot.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”600px” css=”.vc_custom_1548848420874{background-image: url(https:\/\/designalonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pykalisto_talvi.jpg?id=337) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ item=”1505″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1678105858231-6f78545e-a58e-9″ include=”1481,1483,1486,1488,1490,1492,1494,1496,1498,1500,1456,1790″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1551425308331{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-right: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;margin-left: 80px !important;}”]The appeal of the poetry means not only the content and techniques of the works, but also the environment.
