“I believe in the permanency of the basic features of architecture, the so-called eternal values. I do not therefore believe that there has been anything in recent years which could revolutionize the basic tenets of architecture and its central task.” – Juha Leiviskä
The passing of Juha Leiviskä is a loss to the culture of Finnish architecture but also to the world of architecture in general. His architecture emerged from a deep understanding of local climate, society and history, but aspired to a universal dimension cutting through space and time. Leiviskä’s work runs like a silver thread from his formative buildings to his most recent creations. He extended precepts and principles of Alvar Aalto and the contrary values of Aulis Blomstedt into new expressive territories, achieving a synthesis of opposites. Few figures over the past half century have touched the expressive heights of Leiviskä’s churches which fuse light, space and musical rhythms in a sublime synthesis touching the mind and the senses of the observer. Without being ponderously monumental, they establish points of intensity in landscape or city.

In honor of Salma Khadra Jayyusi, who passed away earlier this year, I’d like to revisit Juha the famous trickster character. I was fortunate enough to study Arabic langugage and literature during the years when Jayyusi’s PROTA project was bringing many works to the attention of readers in English. One of these works is published as Tales of Juha: Classic Arab Folk Humor (Northampton, MA: Interlink, 2007). This is a great compilation and rendition of many classic Juha stories. I’ll include a tiny one here as a sample (from p. 15).
Juha went for a swim in the river, undressing and leaving his clothes on the bank. Some thief or other stole them, and Juha had to go home completely naked. A few days later, he went to the river and took a dip fully clothed. His friends, seeing him, asked him what he thought he was doing.
Better for my clothes to get wet on me,” he answered, “than be dry on someone else!”

They appear in cultures of various languages and religions throughout the Mediterranean region. Many of the stories enjoy an especially wide audience due to characteristics of the stories such a
