Ciao everyone,
as I have been very busy with my mid terms for the couple of last weeks, I have not been updating my blog during that time. However, now I am back to business and will present you maybe the most famous designer of Finland, Alvar Aalto, and some of his works. Alvar Aalto was born in 1898 and died in year 1976. He was a finnish architect, designer and academician.
His most famous works are for example Finlandia-house in Helsinki, Villa Mairea and Culture house in Helsinki. Aalto absorbed functionalism in his designing and stressed especially the meaning of humanity and social conscious. Typical for Aalto's buildings were white, geometrically simple walls and structures which made the buildings look like light. After the big wars Aalto changed his style to more humane and down-to-earth direction.
Maybe the most famous design of Aalto, the Finlandia-house, is many times critizised of the material used which is marble. This is because marble is not very suitable for finnish climate and because it affects negatively the acoustic features of the building.
