SUMMARY:Tour of Aalto House and Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a guided tour of the iconic Aalto House in Munkkiniemi. Alvar and Aino Aalto created a unique and lasting imprint in the history of architecture and design\, both in Finland and internationally.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1934\, Aino and Alvar Aalto acquired a site in almost completely untouched surroundings at Riihitie in Helsinki’s Munkkiniemi. They started designing their own house which was completed in August 1936. \n\n\n\nThe house was designed as both a family home and an office and these two functions can clearly be seen from the outside. The slender mass of the office wing is in white-painted\, lightly rendered brickwork. There are still clear references to Functionalism in the location of the windows. The cladding material of the residential part is slender\, dark-stained timber battens. The building has a flat roof and a large south-facing terrace. \n\n\n\nAlthough the streetside elevation of the house is severe and closed-off\, it is softened by climbing plants and a slate path leading up to the front door. There are already signs of the ‘new’ Aalto in the Aalto House\, of the Romantic Functionalist. The plentiful use of wood as a finishing material and four open hearts built in brick also point to this. \n\n\n\nThe Aalto House is a cozy\, intimate building for living and working\, designed by two architects for themselves\, using simple uncluttered materials. \n\n\n\n For more information click here: https://www.alvaraalto.fi/en/architecture/the-aalto-house/ \n\n\n\nImage: Eva ja Pertti Ingervo @ Alvar Aalto Foundation \n\n\n\n\nTo cancel\, email Ana Jones-Wilenius Friday September 12th at the latest.
