Rebuilt in a computer for the aaltosvoices website (sorry its a bit flashy).

The Finnish Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair in 1939 was the design that marked Alvar Aalto’s international breakthrough. The structure was dismantled right after the Fair ended, just two years after it was completed…….First of all, the story goes that Alvar was not originally interested in this architecture competition, he called it a mere exercise in decorating. Still, pressures and contradictions concerning Villa Mairea, which was being built at the time, got him to turn his gaze to this challenge only three days before the deadline.
