# Alvar Aalto (@alvar-aalto)

Alvar Aalto was a Finnish architect and designer who humanized modernism. The work is especially associated with warm materials, curving forms, landscape sensitivity, and attention to bodily experience. Major projects include Paimio Sanatorium, Villa Mairea, Säynätsalo Town Hall, and bentwood furniture. A responsible account also considers the integration of architecture, interiors, furniture, and landscape.
