No, not another middle-aged Alvar Aalto proponent. No, this is just a little note to say that one feature of the man's apparently offhand style is musicality. This fragment of a building in West Germany, built as the Federal Republic was reaching the zenith of its comfortable post-war certainties, does something musical with the elevation. It's a composition in which objects with an evident internal rythym of their own are combined together.
