Architecture
The building is based on Aalto's 1959 winning entry into a design contest for the new Seinäjoki urban plan, and was completed three years later in 1962.[1] It was comprehensively renovated in the 2010s, with the work finished in 2018.[4]
The exterior cladding of the main facade features dark blue ceramic tiles which appear to change colour under different lighting conditions.[5]
The city council assembly hall was designed to serve a dual purpose as a concert venue.[1]
The City Hall forms part of the city's so-called Aalto Centre (Finnish: Aalto-keskus), a cluster of Aalto-designed public buildings and an integral central square,[2] which has been recognised by the Finnish Heritage Agency as a nationally important built cultural environment (Valtakunnallisesti merkittävä rakennettu kulttuuriympäristö).[1]
