And now the fucking buildings are even more expensive to maintain.

Aalto did amazing looking buildings. Dude knew fuck all about ventilation or plumbing.

The dude also tried to freehand the acoustics for performance spaces. It only took 40-50 years to fix em.

I suppose these are now works of art rather than just buildings. Hopefully the tourists will come and buy tickets. What UNESCO says: "the works express a human‑centred, site‑specific, and empathetic vision that distinguishes Finland’s contribution to modern architecture."
