Discover the world of Alvar Aalto, the Finnish architect whose designs merged modernism with nature and everyday life. From Helsinki’s urban landmarks to the forests and lakes of rural Finland, Aalto’s works reflect harmony between people, place, and design. Highlights include Finlandia Hall, the Paimio Sanatorium, Säynätsalo Town Hall, and the Muuratsalo Experimental House—mapped alongside biographical context and his close collaborations with wives Aino and later Elissa Aalto. This two-sided folding map provides both a journey through his architecture and an intimate window into the ideas that reshaped modern Finnish identity.
