(Translator's note: Originally, Säynätsalo was not a town but a municipality. The Finnish name for the building is 'Säynätsalon kunnantalo' which literally means the 'Säynätsalo municipal building'. However, it is usually referred to in English as 'Säynätsalo Town Hall'. Säynätsalo was amalgamated with the City of Jyväskylä in 1993.)
Introduction
Those admirers of Aalto that come all the way to Finland visit the Paimio sanatorium, Säynätsalo town hall and Villa Mairea at the least. Between 3,000 and 4,000 enthusiastic students of architecture and experts on it visit Säynätsalo annually. The valuable building is now available for all on the Internet.
The new Internet exhibition includes a large number of drawings and photographs in addition to an architectural description of the building. The history of the building is discussed in the text. The history of the factory is also briefly described. Enthusiasts often ask questions about the building; the extensive information package now available to all will answer these questions.
The exhibition is produced by the Säynätsalo office of the City of Jyväskylä.
