Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #266

Question

Constructed of brick yet free of references to either traditional architecture or the machine image and aesthetics of pre-World War II cubism, a beautiful civic building in the tiny town of Saynatsalo was designed by whom?

Answer

Built in 1953, the Saynatsalo Town Hall is considered one of the greatest works of Finnish architect Alvar Alto.
