Aalto’s Work Style Aalto’s Early work borrowed from the neoclassic movement,Eventually adapted the symbolism and functionalism of the Modern Movement to generate his plans and forms. Aalto generated a style of functionalism which avoided romantic excess and neoclassical monotony. Aalto borrowed from the International Style, he utilized texture, color, and structure in creative new ways. Aalto's designs were particularly significant because of their response to site, material and form.Aalto's mature work embodies a unique functionalist/expressionist and humane style, successfully applied to libraries, civic centers, churches, housing, etc.
Aalto generated a large body of work in Germany, America, and Sweden. Often at work on multiple projects, he tended to intermingle ideas and details within his work. The spectrum of Aalto's work exhibits a sensual detailing that separates him from most of his contemporaries.
