He studied at the Jyväskylä Lyceum school, where he completed his basic education in 1916, and took drawing lessons from local artist [[Jonas Heiska]].

Although he is sometimes regarded as among the first and most influential architects of Nordic [[modernism]], closer examination reveals that Aalto (while a pioneer in Finland) closely followed and had personal contacts with other pioneers in Sweden, in particular [[Gunnar Asplund]]<ref>{{harvnb|Paavilainen|1982|p=23}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Aalto|1998|p=29}}</ref> and [[Sven Markelius]].<ref>{{harvnb|Aalto|1998|p=76}}</ref> What they and many others of that generation in the Nordic countries shared was a classical education and an approach to classical architecture that historians now call [[Nordic Classicism]].<ref>{{harvnb|Paavilainen|1982|pp=11–15}}</ref> It was a style that had been a reaction to the previous dominant style of [[National romantic style|National Romanticism]] before moving, in the late 1920s, towards Modernism.<ref>{{Citation|last=Wilson|first=Colin St J.

Upon returning to Jyväskylä in 1923 to establish his own architect's office, Aalto designed several single-family homes designed in the style of Nordic Classicism. For example, the manor-like house for his mother's cousin Terho Manner in Töysa (1923), a summer villa for the Jyväskylä chief constable (also from 1923) and the Alatalo farmhouse in Tarvaala (1924). During this period he completed his first public buildings, the Jyväskylä Workers' Club in 1925, the [[Jyväskylä Defence Corps Building]] in 1926 and the [[Seinäjoki Civil Guard House]] building in 1924–29.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} He entered several architectural competitions for prestigious state public buildings, in Finland and abroad. This included two competitions for the Finnish Parliament building in 1923 and 1924, the extension to the [[University of Helsinki]] in 1931, and the building to house the [[League of Nations]] in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1926–27. {{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

Although Aalto was famous for his architecture, his furniture designs were admired and are still popular today. He studied with the architect-designer [[Josef Hoffmann]] at the [[Wiener Werkstätte]](engl.: "Vienna Workshop") and worked, for a time, under [[Eliel Saarinen]].<ref name=Boy/> He also drew inspiration from [[Gebrüder Thonet]].<ref name=Boy/> During the late 1920s and 1930s, he worked closely with Aino Aalto on his furniture designs, a focus due in part to his decision to design many of the individual furniture pieces and lamps for the Paimio Sanatorium. Of particular significance was the Aaltos' experimentation in bent plywood chairs, most notably the so-called Paimio chair, designed for tuberculosis patients, and the [[Model 60 stacking stool]]. The Aaltos, together with visual arts promoter Maire Gullichsen and art historian Nils-Gustav Hahl, founded the [[Artek (company)|Artek]] company in 1935, ostensibly to sell Aalto products but which also imported pieces by other designers.<ref>{{harvnb|Pallasmaa|1998|p=19}}</ref> Aalto became the first furniture designer to use the cantilever principle in chair designs using wood.<ref name=Boy/>

It is hoped that by combining forces on communications and marketing, the visibility and accessibility of exhibitions, tourist attractions and events will be improved. To date, the network city members are: Aalborg, Alajärvi, Espoo, Eura, Hamina, Helsinki, Imatra, Jyväskylä, Järvenpää, Kotka, Kouvola, Lahti, Oulu, Paimio, Pori, Raseborg, Rovaniemi, Seinäjoki, Turku, Vantaa and Varkaus. It is estimated that in total there would be 40 cities worldwide that would qualify as an Alvar Aalto City.
