Paimio Sanatorium, Finlândia- Alvar Aalto

[Sérgio Barbosa]

"The spread of tuberculosis in Finland between the wars led to the construction of a number of sanatoria throughout the country. One of these was the Varsinais-Suomi tuberculosis sanatorium which had broad-based financial support from 48 municipalities and four towns. Paimio was chosen as the location for the sanatorium and there was a competition for its design, which was resolved at the end of January 1929. The architects on the jury were Jussi Paatela and Väinö Vähäkallio, both of whom were keen supporters of the latest trends in architecture."
