Architect Design Analysis

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born on Feburary
3rd, 1898; he was a Finnish architect, designer,
sculptor and painter. Alvar was one of Finland’s
greatest architects and is recognized today as one
of the greatest masters of modern architecture.
During his career he worked on several structures
such as Villa Marera, Vyborg Library, Paimi Sanatorium and Architect’s Studio. Working with other architect’s such as Walter Gropius, a German architect, and Erik Bryggman, a Finnish architect.
Drawing inspiration from Fernand Leger, Jean Arp
and Constantin Brancusi , all visual artists, who
nourished his fondness for curvilinear shapes.
In my architect design analysis i have chosen
to examine Alvar Aalto’s Architect’s Studio. The
structure was built in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki
1953 -1956.
Alvar Aalto’s approach to his design was to create a space that provides tranquility for the individual
and possible group work. The studio does not resemble that of a conventional architect’s studio but more
so of a residence. Feature such as the side garden and amphitheatre are what adds to the studio’s unconventional demeanor.
