"Santorum...Sanatorium, A Finnish Nightmare"

The modernist has struck again. Trapping TB patients high above the Finnish pines with no escape, he feeds them into a machine aesthetic to which they will never return. Blank, stark walls line the never-ending halls as the bold yellow accents mark places to vomit. Alvar Aalto, what happened?
I have had the pleasure of touring this fine, secluded heap of history in nowhere, Finland, and let me tell you, it was no treat. It appeared more a place to die than a place to heal. With its only merit being the sun deck, one has got to wonder what went wrong...oh, it was the modernist movement in architecture. As much as I respect and admire Aalto's other works such as the Säynätsalo Town Hall or Studio Aalto in Helsinki...this Sanatorium, now a general hospital, is an unnerving, white massed disaster.

I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
If we close our eyes

Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself
'Cause I won't be there with you
