Abstract

This work aims to study the design ideas of Alva Aalto from the perspective of ecological aesthetics. He is a famous Finnish architect and industrial designer, as well as an internationally renowned modernist design master. He absorbs the modernist design concept objectively and critically, and he adheres to green design, organic design and pays attention to the physical and psychological experience of users. Aalto's design clearly reflects the idea of ecological aesthetics and breaks through the time limit, making his design ideas still have important value to guide today's design.
