Imatra church with shell-like white forms and partitions that resize the nave. UNESCO Aalto Works component. Practical modernism for a community whose numbers change—space expands and contracts.

Highlights

  • Movable walls — What non-liturgical uses are implied?
  • Upper openings — How does light focus the altar?
