Alvar Aalto exhibition, Reykjavik
Reconstruction of A. Ahlström Co. sawmill in Varkaus, Alvar Aalto, 1944
Alvar Aalto’s architecture is part of the history of international modern architecture. As early as 1941, the Swiss architectural historian Siegfried Giedion placed Aalto’s extensive body of work in an important position in his book on the history of architecture in the twentieth century, Space, Time and Architecture.
Alvar Aalto’s ability to synthesise rationalist architecture with an organic language of form, and his way of combining materials and making the landscape part of the building are unique. Aalto’s architecture is still discussed by students and lovers of architecture all over the world.
Most of Alvar Aalto’s architecture is situated in Finland, far away from the metropolises of Europe. His work has been published widely in a great many books and it is possible to visit many of the buildings and their surroundings
