He was born in Iisalmi, Finland, but spent the latter of his life in Järvenpää at his home, which was known as " Villa Kokkonen ", drawn by Alvar Aalto and finished in 1969.

The Alvar Aalto Museum, designed by Aalto himself, is located in what is regarded as his home city Jyväskylä.

When Aalto was 5 years old, the family moved to Alajärvi, and from there to Jyväskylä in Central Finland.

On returning to Jyväskylä in 1923 to establish his own architect's office, Aalto busied himself with a number of single-family homes, all designed in the classical style, such as the manor-like house for his mother's cousin Terho Manner in Töysa in 1923, a summer villa for the Jyväskylä chief constable in 1923 and the Alatalo farmhouse in Tarvaala in 1924.

The architect Alvar Aalto compared the hilly landscape of Jyväskylä to Toscana in Italy: " The slope of Jyväskylä ridge is almost like the mountain vineyards of Fiesole ".

The School of Science and Technology was one constituent school of the university for one year, before being split up to form the basis for four separate constituent schools of the Aalto University

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto ( February 3 1898, Kuortane – May 11 1976, Helsinki ) was a Finnish architect and designer.

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born in Kuortane, Finland.

His father, Johan Henrik Aalto, was a Finnish-speaking land-surveyor and his mother, Selly ( Selma ) Matilda ( née Hackstedt ) was a postmistress.

Their honeymoon journey to Italy sealed an intellectual bond with the culture of the Mediterranean region that was to remain important to Aalto for the rest of his life.

The Aaltos designed and built a joint house-office ( 1935 – 36 ) for themselves in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki, but later ( 1954 – 56 ) had a purpose-built office built in the same neighbourhood-the latter building nowadays houses the Alvar Aalto Academy.

Aino and Alvar Aalto had 2 children, a daughter Johanna " Hanni " Alanen, born Aalto, 1925, and a son Hamilkar Aalto, 1928.

Aino Aalto died of cancer in 1949.

In 1952 Aalto married architect Elissa Mäkiniemi ( died 1994 ), who had been working as an assistant in his office.

In 1952 Aalto designed and had built a summer cottage, the so-called Experimental House, for himself and his new wife in Muuratsalo in Central Finland.

Alvar Aalto died on May 11 1976, in Helsinki.

Although he is sometimes regarded as among the first and most influential architects of Nordic modernism, a closer examination of the historical facts reveals that Aalto ( while a pioneer in Finland ) closely followed and had personal contacts with other pioneers in Sweden, in particular Gunnar Asplund and Sven Markelius.

Aalto also entered several architectural competitions for prestigious state public buildings, both in Finland and abroad, including the two competitions for the Finnish Parliamentary building in 1923 and 1924, the extension to the University of Helsinki in 1931, and the building to house the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1926-27.

Furthermore, this was the period when Aalto was most prolific in his writings, with articles for professional journals and newspapers.

Through Sven Markelius, Aalto became a member of the Congres Internationaux d ' Architecture Moderne ( CIAM ), attending the second congress in Frankfurt in 1929 and the fourth congress in Athens in 1933, where he established a close friendship with László Moholy-Nagy, Sigfried Giedion and Philip Morton Shand.

It was not until the completion of the Paimio Sanatorium ( 1929 ) and Viipuri Library ( 1935 ) that Aalto first achieved world attention in architecture.

It could be said that Aalto's international reputation was sealed with his inclusion in the second edition of Sigfried Giedion's influential book on Modernist architecture, Space, Time and Architecture: The growth of a new tradition ( 1949 ), in which Aalto received more attention than any other Modernist architect, including Le Corbusier.
