Paimio Sanatorium (Paimio centre)

Finland / Varsinais-Suomi / Paimio / Paimio centre / Alvar Aallontie
Paimio Sanatorium is a former tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Finland Proper, designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Aalto received the commission to design the building after winning an architectural competition for the project held in 1929. The building was completed in 1932, and soon after received much critical acclaim both in Finland and abroad. The building served exclusively as a tuberculosis sanatorium until the early 1960s, when it was converted into a general hospital. Today the building is part of the University of Turku Central Hospital. Aalto and his wife Aino designed all of the sanatorium's furniture and interiors.
