Rising forms

An otherwise uninteresting--to me--Times Sunday Arts section had Alan Riding's piece on the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, Aalto’s Renown Rises From the Chair .

Most memorable to me was Aalto's Church of the Three Crosses in Imatra, Finland. It's a great photo, even greater form. Less memorable to me, but attached to the church photo is Villa Mairea, which the Times says many consider Aalto's finest work.
