Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) was influenced by both the landscape of his native country, as well as the political struggle over Finland's place within European culture. After early neoclassical buildings, Aalto turned to ideas based on Functionalism, moving toward organic structures, with brick and wood replacing plaster and steel.
