Finnish Architecture and Design Day 3.2.
Happy Finnish Architecture and Design Day and Alvar Aalto’s Birthday!
✨ This year, Rovaniemi celebrates the Alvar Aalto Jubilee with the theme Arctic Everyday Aalto.
🌬️ In the world’s northernmost Alvar Aalto city, the Arctic is an integral part of everyday life. The
theme Arctic Everyday Aalto reflects the thinking of Alvar Aalto: beaty and functionality are not
just for celebrations but are present and close to everyday life. The Arctic draws its strength
from light, nature and the seasons – just like Alvar Aalto’s architecture and design.
