Quotes by Alvar Aalto

• Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.
• Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.
• We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.
• We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city.
• Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.
