The coming of Curia << 2/9 >>

In 1924, the mill asked Aalto to design a master plan for the main island. The drawing, which dates from the period 1944-47, is governed by two themes. The first of these is an ‘acropolis’ dedicated to sport and culture at the highest point on the island, and the second is a fan-shaped square, a piazza triangulare, around which are located the building for the municipal administration offices, the head office for the mill, and some shops and low-rise housing.
