A short, but illuminating guide about Aalto’s monumental Finlandia Hall, built between 1967-71 as the first civic building in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. This Finnish concert and congress hall exhibits many of the ideas that Aalto experimented with during his lifetime, including Aalto’s extreme attention to detail. The building consists of an impressively large and asymmetrical auditorium that incorporates a special wing for congress purposes.

Helsinki’s House of Culture, consisting of a concert hall, office-building, and lecture wing, represents a turning point in Aalto’s architecture. He masterfully combines both sculptural cubism and unconstrained plasticity of form. As this building is sandwiched between traffic and nature, Aalto appropriately used two kinds of form: organic and rational. A poignant introduction to Aalto’s notable free-form red brick buildings of the 1950s.

Completed in 1929, this multi-purpose building was created to draw profit by leasing commercial premises within its complex.
