The Paul Rudolph Foundation is pleased to announce the third installment of our salon series on Modern Architects with a discussion led by Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen.  Ms. Pelkonen will discuss the enigmatic, and staunchly individualistic Alvar Aalto.  We will talk about his role in evolving Finnish design and defining Finland’s national identity.  This will be contrasted with Rudolph’s contributions in the U.S. in realizing the American Century.

Ms. Pelkonen will present in the Modulightor duplex, and be on hand to dedicate copies of her book over refreshments, following the talk.  Introduction by Foundation Co-Director Sean Khorsandi.  Doors open at 6:15PM.
