Alvar Aalto my ideal of architect to follow..

Alvar Aalto 1898- 1976 

He was an architect from Finland , he lived during 1900’s he was part of the international style of modernism, but in the last part of his career he started to do more projects with an organic style , more on his own style if you can call it that way. I think his life as an architect is one of the best ideal to follow, he understood what it was going on during his time of life, but also gave a new addition with his proposal of architecture. He was also considered a Designer, he basically designed every piece of furniture on his projects, his most famous furniture were his chairs.

As an architect to me, he totally made sure his architecture were part of the culture of his origins, even though he made a lot of projects outside Finland the greatest art work were done with the essence of Finland, more cozy houses, the interior with wood, and he made everything functioning with the light. As Finland is considered a northern country, he put a lot of his effort designing spaces that were made for catching the most natural light as possible.

To me he was the most amazing artist; he took every detail to another level, that’s what I love about him. He understood that being an architect it’s not completed just by designing a project; it’s about how the people would live inside that space.
