Dear Bob,
The interior of the Finnish Pavilion
at the 1939-1940 New York World's
Fair was hailed as a masterpiece of
spatial layout and media integration.
Tasked with fitting an exhibition into
a narrow, rented rectangular hall,
architect Alvar Aalto created a
breathtaking 52-foot-high atrium
centered around a freestanding,
forward-leaning wood wall.
This contemporary postcard features
a picture by the great Ezra Stoller.
Best regards,
R
