Turun Sanomat building, Modernist office building in central Turku, Finland.
The Turun Sanomat building features a C-shaped structure with concrete walls, large glass windows, and a cylindrical tower within its central courtyard.
Completed in 1930, architect Alvar Aalto designed this newspaper headquarters during his influential period in Turku between 1927 and 1933.
The building reflects functionalist architectural principles with its ribbon windows, free facade, and pilotis, following Le Corbusier's five points of architecture.
Located at Kauppiaskatu 5, the structure combines retail spaces on ground level with offices and apartments in upper floors.
A double-height display window originally showcased the newspaper's front page, introducing an early form of media presentation to architecture.
