\nThe first wave of modernist influences comes in the shape of the Paimio Sanatorium and Viipuri Library where we can see what Aalto calls Functionalist Period. Even though with clear shapes of the design movement, Aalto had different experiences and tries until it was just his own way.

\nAlthough many designers opted for the contemporary design style, Alvar Aalto\u2019s greatest works come in the shape of public buildings \u2013 libraries, town halls, churches. One of the most praised being\u00a0S\u00e4yn\u00e4tsalo Town Hall in Finland and\u00a0MIT\u2019s Baker House Dormitory\u00a0in the United States.<\/p>\n

\nAnd finally \u2013 the Aalto Studio (1955). Designed by himself, the office was only a short walk from Aalto\u2019s home that ran the office until his death in 1976. After the leadership of Elissa Aalto until 1994, the office went into the custodianship of Alvar Aalto Foundation in 1984 and is nowadays the \u2013\u00a0Alvar Aalto\u00a0Foundation, the\u00a0Alvar Aalto\u00a0Academy and the\u00a0Alvar Aalto Museum Architectural Heritage.
