Villa Mairea in Finland is an iconic house built in 1939 as a modern residence for Maire and Harry Gullichsen, who were ardent lovers and promoters of art.
Aalto suunnitteli vuosikymmenten varrella useita yksityistaloja ystävilleen. Niissä kaikissa välittyy vahvasti asukkaiden tai perheen henkilökohtainen suhde kotiinsa.

Ahlström Oy:n johtajalle ja hänen vaimolleen, Harry ja Maire Gullichsenille Noormarkun ruukin alueelle.

Merellinen Helsinki on Suomen suurin kaupunki, josta löytyy useiden Alvar Aallon suunnittelemien rakennusten lisäksi edustava kattaus eri vuosikymmenten ja aikakausien suomalaista arkkitehtuuria. Pikkukaupungissa, Kuortaneella syntynyt Aalto valmistui arkkitehdiksi vuonna 1921 Helsingin Teknillisestä korkeakoulusta.

The invitational competition for Säynätsalo Town Hall was held in 1949. Alvar Aalto won the competition with an entry marked 'Curia'.
Aalto took part in a competition for a large church and parish centre announced by Seinäjoki parish in 1951, sending in an entry marked “Lakeuksien risti” (“Cross of the plains”). Instead of placing the parish rooms under the church or in a smaller, separate building, as the other entrants had done, Aalto seized upon the big religious events commonly organized in Osthrobotnia in summer. He laid out a large piazza, loping down towards the church and girded by the parish facilities, in front of the church´s main facade.
