Alvar Aalto

Hi everyone!

Alvar Aalto was born on February 3 of 1898 in Finland. He was an architect and designer that based his work in the funcionalism principles and organic forms. This consists in that the use of an object and the purpose of a building determines its form. He also stablished that objects need to have clarity and few ornaments in the form, and that a good design should always consider the utilization of the human and to function without problems, so it could endure in the daily use.


I think this architect has a lot of reason because this few fundaments work great when you project a design. A good design is not the one that is extremely innovator or have a creative form, but it's the one in which every part is carefully elaborated so it could remain with a perfect function and an interesting aesthetic.


When a form gets saturated of ornaments, it become confusing and more expensive. A good design needs to be resolved with the less material possible but to keep the same attracting characterics. This also will have a positive impact in the nature and the whole world.

Alvar Aalto proved that designing products or buildings need to be focused on their purpose to be successful.

"True architecture is only to be found where man stands in the centre".

Cya!
