Alvar Aalto: Town Hall, 1949?–1952

  • Säynätsalo, Finland, Show on map
  • #GOV #Brick #Forerunner #Western Europe
  • Aalto is another architectural heavyweight whose sculptural architecture and puristic use of materials has inspired countless successors. The town hall for this newly founded settlement is at once monumental and humble. The bricks are exposed on both the outside and the inside.

  • Heritage listed since 1994, renovated in 1995–1998, in a very good state.
