Dear Raija,
The mixed-use Southwestern Finland Agricultural
Cooperative Building designed by Alvar Aalto in
1928 included a hotel, a restaurant, a banking center,
several shops, many flats and the 500 seat Turku City
Theater. Shown in this vintage picture of this vanished
theater is one of the entrances to the symmetrical
auditorium. These entrances were passages below a
tier of the auditorium seats, very much like the
vomitoria in the ancient roman amphitheaters.
Good wishes.
R
