Alvar Aalto, sometimes being called as the “Father of Modernism” is a Finnish architect and designer born in Helsinki on February 3 1898. Alvar’s early career started during the rapid economic growth and industrialization of Finland and for that case many of his clients were industrialist. His design collabration with Erik Bryggman for the Viipuri Library Project in 1930s indicates Aalto’s move towards modernism.While being a member of the Congres Internationaux d’Architecture Modrene (CIAM) Aalto started following Le Corbusier’s work.Alvar was influenced by meeting with various members of the Bauhaus design school especially Laszlo Moholy Nagy. Alvar Aalto’s work executed after World War II showed his maturity and less machine like in imagery approach. Below are examples of his previous work.
