Aalto was a brilliant architect. Anyone who cannot see that at a glance is lacking. Whether or not he had the gift of gab is irrelevant. Taking potshots at great persons of the past has always been a popular parlor game.

Agreed. One of the finest from the last century. European modernism at its most humane and imaginative. It doesn’t get much finer than Villa Mairea.
