A new exhibition at Studio Aalto in Helsinki takes viewers on a journey into the works of architects for whom Aalto’s office was a springboard to fame. The scions of Aalto’s office under the spotlight are Jaakko Kontio, Kaarlo Leppänen and Eric Adlercreutz.

Lappeenranta University of Technology (1969) by Jaakko Kontio and Kalle Räike, Valkeakoski Cultural and administrative center (1966) by Kaarlo Leppänen, and Jägarbacken housing in Tammisaari (1967) by Eric Adlercreutz and Nils-Hinrik Aschan.

The exhibition is based on Miguel Borges de Araújo’s forthcoming PhD thesis, which uses material from the Alvar Aalto Museum’s collections.

“The work of Alvar Aalto’s collaborators – the architects Jaakko Kontio, Kaarlo Leppänen and Eric Adlercreutz” is open for public at the Studio Aalto from 7.5. to 23.11.2014.
