Windows opening for a new The Paimio Sanatorium Foundation, tasked with taking care of this exceptional site, sees its role not only as an agent of preservation: the Sanatorium must become a platform of development, learning and exchange that promotes the urgently-needed skills of taking care through design of which the Aaltos were an emblem. Therefore, the Foundation sees the Paimio Sanatorium not a passive site, but a place of active solution-seeking and solution-making. It will bring together thinkers and doers, makers and visionaries to collaboratively build brave, unexpected ways to answer questions through radical, practice-based solutions. The Foundation’s goal is for the Sanatorium to become known as a place that generates new and radical approaches to how we humans relate to the world and to each other. #paimionparantola #paimiosanatorium #alvaraalto #ainoaalto #alvaraaltofoundation #aalto2museum #functionalism #modernism #design #architecture #visitpaimio #visitturku

Paimio Sanatorium Foundation invited architect Joseph Grima to build Foundation’s future vision and future The task of bringing Paimio Sanatorium as a new platform for thinking, learning and doing alive with an ambitious program of confe-rences, residencies, exhibitions and workshops will be the task of curator Joseph Grima/Space Caviar. With extensive experience as a writer, researcher, curator and educator in the fields of architecture and design, Grima and the team at Space Caviar will open up the extraordinary opportunities presented by the new vision for the Sanatorium and the surrounding area to a consolidated international network of thinkers and practitioners through a three-year program structured around a Manifesto to be presented in the coming months. “Having the opportunity to transform this unique site into a new platform for encounter and debate that can shape the present and future architectural discourse is an incredible honour and responsibi- lity. We see this as a much-needed opportunity to return collective attention to the values of care and collective wellbeing this building stands for”, Joseph Grima says. #paimionparantola #paimiosanatorium #alvaraalto #ainoaalto #josephgrima #alvaraaltofoundation #aalto2museum #functionalism #modernism #design #architecture #visitpaimio #visitturku

Together towards new frontiers The Aaltos investigated new materials and manufacturing techniques as a regular practice. They frequently worked outside the barriers of the architectural discipline. Many of the glass objects, lighting fixtures and furniture they designed in the 1930s and beyond have become some of the most recognizable objects of modern design, and are still in mass production today. Notable examples include Alvar Aalto’s sculptural Savoy Vase of 1936 and Aino Aalto’s Bölgeblick series of pressed glass objects. In addition to the design of furnishings, the Aaltos also experimented in other non-architectural disciplines. Aino was skilled at interior design and photography. Alvar explored painting and sculpture. His experimental wood reliefs reside somewhere between sculpture and material research, art and science. #paimionparantola #paimiosanatorium #alvaraalto #ainoaalto #alvaraaltofoundatiion #aalto2museum #functionalism #modernism #design #architecture #visitpaimio #visitturku
