Alvar Aalto’s Jyväskylä by Janne Tuunanen
Finnish photographer Janne Tuunanen explored famed architect Alvar Aalto’s early projects in their shared Finnish hometown Jyväskylä. Aalto’s renown was cemented by his later works of industrial and architectural design, but his hometown boasts his early and often overlooked work. Tuunanen wanted to bring attention to Jyväskylä and photograph the locations from a different angle.
