"Just as it takes time for a speck of fish spawn to develop into a fully grown fish, so, too, we need time for everything that develops and crystallizes in the world of ideas. Architecture demands more of this time than other creative work."
Alvar Aalto was a Finnish architect and designer whose work is central to twentieth-century modernism. He combined functional design with organic forms across architecture, furniture, and glassware. He died in 1976.
