Aalto beyond Finland - architecture and design : the 2nd Alvar Aalto research seminar Rovaniemi Town Hall, Finland 16-18 February 2015

The rich body of papers produced for the 2nd Alvar Aalto Researchers Network Seminar ’Aalto beyond Finland – Architecture and Design’ by scholars from different countries is an extraordinary attempt to illustrate the international environment in which Aalto worked from the beginning of his career and how his genius for making contacts made him a citizen of the world. At the same time, the research presented here is revealing of the internationalization of Aalto and his work, shedding light on the cultural exchange occurring between Finland and the world in the 20th and 21st centuries.
