Description

Defence corps building (1926–29) The building is not in use; only the exterior can be viewed. Aalto won the architectural competition for the Defence Corps Building. When he designed the building, he was transitioning from classicism to functionalism. However, classicism was still reflected in the floor plan and facade. Originally, the building was intended to house a market hall, a cinema, a large assembly hall with a stage, a restaurant and offices. The building has been almost entirely remodelled.
