    Alvar Aalto: Technology and Nature

    The Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) is one of the great figures of modern architecture, ranked alongside Gropius, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. This film analyses Aalto’s uniquely successful resolution of the demands and possibilities created by new technology and construction materials with the need to make his buildings sympathetic both to their users and to their natural surroundings. His inventive use of timber in particular represents both a reference to the forest landscape of Finland and a building material that is ‘warm’ and extremely adaptable. Filmed in Finland, Italy, Germany and the USA, this documentary shows how the Finnish natural environment and art traditions were essential elements in Aalto’s pioneering harmonization of technology and nature.

    A nice little appetizer before the Uncensored Rumble that will follow the next day. A lot of new faces present and some seem to have convinced WSU officials (Bale, D'Milo, Garrett, Hayden, Malone). Hendrix and Kaye also made a good impression, but I guess WSU and its limited number of shows do not have 50,000 seats in their roster. 09.08.2013
