Aalto means 'wave' in Finnish. Which is appropriate for an architect who brought sinuous, wave-like, fan forms to soften and humanise rational, rectilinear, Modernism. His first name was actually Hugo - maybe he liked the alliteration from his middle name more...
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto. Syntyi 1898, kuoli 1976.
