Its first decisive steps to implement their ideas Aalto made in 1927, when he was 29 years. He joined the modern architectural movement in the city of Turku, which is most open to new projects in the city of Finland. The project for building panel that the case presented in Aalto 70-th birthday of the city Turku is ideologically linked to experiments that make the other architects of that time, and is the first expression of modernist architecture in the Nordic countries. This was the period in which Aalto progressing increasingly avant-garde architecture and began to interact with leading innovators such as Fernand Leger, Brankuzi Constantine, George Braque and Alexander Calder. Aalto projects of this time are still strongly linked to general trends – this is the library Viipuri (1930), Sanatorium Paimio (1930) and his own house in Helsinki (1935).

He began to draw increasing attention not only to the practicability of the buildings and their purpose to meet the basic needs of their occupants, and facilities in physical, mental, social and cultural aspects. It is important to mention the church in Malm (1951), in city hall Saynatsalo (1952), and the church Vuoksenniska in Imatra (1958).

Aalto often uses concrete, although it is considered “normal” material in conjunction with the tree, seen as a “noble”. In his work is primarily the architect its internal impulses, with a kind of structural philosophy, in which conventional and new weave. He is one of the first to give shape to the idea of “incidental relationship” in the creative impulses. Kink, raznostilieto, asymmetry in Aalto’s ideas are reflected in other articles which he makes as furniture, glasses, lamps, jewelry, clothes and paintings. Time seemed to pass through them, but they remain new.
