Completed in 1929, this multi-purpose building was created to draw profit by leasing commercial premises within its complex. The Jyväskylä Defence Corps Building mark’s Aalto’s move towards a modernist architectural idiom, where rigid symmetry of neo-classicism is chosen in favor of a more flexible approach. Photographs from the building’s conception to completion, as well as plans and elevations are included.
