2460. Sunilan Tehdas
Dear Rem,
The buildings of the old Sunila sawmill were converted
for the use of the new pulp mill community according
to the plans of Aino and Alvar Aalto. The old buildings
were used to house, among other things, the clerks' club,
the foreman's club, a kindergarten and a library.
The architecture of the mill area was largely determined
by the production process, and the definitive point of
reference for the area was the office building. Indeed
Alvar Aalto paid more attention to the design of the
office building than the production facilities, and
Aino Aalto was to a large extent responsible for the
interior design.

two buildings. The larger Banovina
serves as the seat of the Government
of Vojvodina, while the smaller
Banski dvor serves as the seat of the
Assembly of Vojvodina. The buildings,
designed by Dragiša Brašovan, were
constructed between 1936 and 1940
in modernist style.

Dear Ingrid,
"The gable with its elegant semi-cylindrical staircase
stands out in the street line and when you come
forward, the facility opens up perpendicular to the
road into the depth and creates the new town hall
square - a place that speaks both of the suburb as
the open city and of the town hall as a new
densification point, but also as a new democratic
house that kindly invites you inside. "
(Vilhelm Lauritzen)
Sincerely,
R
