I had the fortune to win a Scholarship aged 18 to visit Finland and study the work of Alvar Aalto (in 1990), so can see how this work matches the scale and rhythms of his larger Finnish buildings, such as the Finlandia Hall, or in a different typology his university buildings such as at Otaniemi. This building has all the hallmarks of his style, with each element talking with the others. For example the circular rooflights, ceiling lamps and tables tie the spaces together through a common language. Another example is the vertical fins that can be found on the doors and in the glazed screens.
