Alvar Aalto
(1898-1976)In 1925, at the age of twenty-seven, Alvar Aalto called for a sauna to be built on the hill above downtown Jyväskylä. The suggestion was made in an article he wrote for the local newspaper.
Aalto wanted to see a cultural sauna, a monument that would sit above his hometown like a temple.
"Rakentakaame
sinne
sauna!
Ei
tavallisen
vanhan
suomalaisen
saunan
irvikuva,
kuten
kaikki
saunamme
tätä
nykyä
ovat,
vaan
kultuurisauna,
kansallismonumentti,
ensimmäinen
laatuaan,
Suomen
heräävässä
sivistyksessä"

"...the sauna should be like a temple.."
