In 2008/2009 John Gamble held a Visiting Researcher position in the Aalto Foundation in Helsinki, Finland, and in 2014 completed a PhD titled ‘Alvar Aalto: Formal structure and a methodical development of an inclusive architecture’. In this talk, John explores this thesis using a project completed by Alvar Aalto in the Finnish town of Jyvaskyla.

TARGET LEARNING OUTCOMES  
  • To gain an insight into the philosophy and strategies behind Alvar Aalto’s design processes
  • To understand how architecture should accommodate both human and ecological circumstances
  • Through the illustration of the Teachers College in Jyvaskyla, appreciate the inter-relationships between the co-spatial formal structures and the many different formal relationships within each structure.
  • Appreciate the rigor of the process and the complexity of the assessment that allowed Aalto to understand the requirements for this project.
