Aalto, from the very beginning, was attracted by the possibility of generating his own project message.

All this becomes obvious and in many of the project syntax elements, but it is especially evident in the layout of the three walls of the rooms: the modern wall that stand weightless, defined by its immaterial abstraction; the heavy wall, defined by its physic features and bond to the XIX century tradition; and finally, the wall with an immaterial vocation, endowed with almost invisible features, and of deep eastern roots.[ES] La trayectoria de Alvar Aalto es ciertamente compleja y ha sido relatada por la historiografía oficial diseccionada en etapas más o menos definidas por familias unitarias de proyectos en el tiempo. Así, el sanatorio de Paimio ha pasado a la historia de la arquitectura como la consolidación del Proyecto Moderno en Finlandia, protagonizando, aparentemente, su momento de mayor ortodoxia. Aalto se sintió atraído, desde sus comienzos, por la posibilidad de generar un discurso proyectual propio. Encontró que investigar en torno a la capacidad evocadora de la conciliación de los opuestos le permitía disponer de instrumentos eficaces al servicio del proyecto. La singular presencia de elementos opuestos dialogando define la tarea rectora de una manera de hacer en arquitectura. En Paimio algunas verdades se resisten a ser ocultadas bajo la uniformidad moderna aparente, tantas veces exaltada. Todo ello se revela en innumerables episodios, pero es especialmente visible en la singular composición de los tres muros de las habitaciones. El muro moderno que resulta ingrávido desde su condición abstracta. El muro pesado, definido a través de sus cualidades materiales, vinculado a la tradición decimonónica. Y finalmente el muro inmaterial, dotado de atributos próximos a la invisibilidad, de profundas referencias orientalesUniversitat Politècnica de ValènciaRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20172017-04-26journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/81483reponame:RiuNet.
