Finlandia Hall, completed in 1971, is like many other of Aalto’s works in the sense that he designed many government and governmental affairs buildings. This building doubles as an event venue with individual spaces that can be rented out. Since he knew that there would be performances there, he wanted to ensure that the acoustics were up to par, creating the tall white towers. This gave the individual experiencing the building the feeling that they were still in an intimate space but with the tall towers, the sound carried like church towers.

The interesting fact about this building is that Aalto designed everything, including the interiors. Not many architects design both the building and the interior spaces within. He had a hand in choosing everything from the types of walls, to the fabric on a seat cushion. He wanted to make sure that everything flowed nicely together and created a seamless experience.
