Finlandia Hall

A 1971 concert and conference hall in Helsinki where white marble masses and curves meet the lakeside setting.

The cultural complex is read together with Helsinki’s larger civic axis and Töölö Bay.

This late public work by Aalto joins material, acoustics, and ceremonial movement.

Its repair history and material problems also make it a study in maintaining modern architecture.
