Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is recognized today as one of the masters of modern architecture and the most influential Finnish architect worldwide. The exhibition highlights four one-family houses that form a varied and fascinating entity in Aalto's extensive output.
The buildings presented in the exhibition include The Aalto House, Villa Mairea, Muuratsalo Experimental House and Maison Luis Carré. Elements typical of Aalto, the human scale and strong connection to nature, can be found in all these buildings. At the same time, they reflect the changes that took place in Aalto's production in general.
Exhibition is organized by Finnagora; Alvar Aalto Museum; Museum of Ethnography, Budapest; Kölcsey Convention Centre, Debrecen and the Cities of Debrecen and Jyväskylä.
