A short, but illuminating guide about Aalto’s monumental Finlandia Hall, built between 1967-71 as the first civic building in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. This Finnish concert and congress hall exhibits many of the ideas that Aalto experimented with during his lifetime, including Aalto’s extreme attention to detail. The building consists of an impressively large and asymmetrical auditorium that incorporates a special wing for congress purposes.
