Paimio Sanatorium in Finland, built in the early 1930s, was a milestone in humane architecture. Designed by Alvar and Aino Aalto as a tuberculosis treatment facility, the building was envisioned as an active part of the healing process. Its architecture reflects a clear focus on patient needs: rounded corners for easier cleaning and hygiene, colors to reduce eye strain, wide windows for daylight and ventilation, and furniture designed to support recovery.

The following photographs were taken during a healthcare conference in Helsinki, where we explored the sanatorium, which is no longer in use for medical purposes.
