(German, French, English)
Alvar Aalto, born 1898 in Kuortane in Finland, is one of the last of the
works personalities of the twentieth century architecture generation.
His buildings, from urban planning to simple residential buildings,
function as a single organism. He was never interested in formal
architectural theories. The path of each building is fascinating, from
the first fleeting sketches to the completed work handed over to the
client, and strongly defined by the personality of the architect.
Everything remains alive and in motion, seems casual and natural as if
it grew naturally out of the surroundings. The unique sense for the
importance of individual components and construction phases makes it
possible to identify a complex of individual style, even in modest
construction tasks. Hence, Aalto's designs and experiments result in
furniture, lamps, curtains, and many other things that make a house
habitable. The central theme of his work is the unity of idea, form, and
way of life.
