How much of Alvar? A walk with Jakub Głaz
following the screening of “Aalto”, dir. Virpi Suutari
In Polish
Alvar Aalto is an icon of humanist, harmonious, and context-specific architecture. Do any of the buildings erected in Poznań during the era of postwar modernism exhibit similar qualities? What does the then-modernity look like compared to the works of the Finnish architect? Are any of our buildings at least partly as good as those designed by Aalto? These challenging comparisons will form the basis for our walk titled "How much of Alvar?", starting at 14:00 at Kino Muza after the screening of "Aalto".
