Scandinavian influences are an important part of 20th century modern architecture. A great representative of this was the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, whose architecture and design left a strong mark on an international scale, while also promoting Finnish architecture. When Yugoslavia left the Informbiro in 1948, in a time of changing socio-political conditions, the country became increasingly open to influences from Western countries. This new atmosphere in the country was therefore open to adopting Scandinavian, including Finnish, models, of which Alvar Aalto was the main representative. In Slovenian post-war journalism, between 1948 and 1970, he was extensively covered in the architectural magazine Arhitekt, which is mainly due to its editorial board that included several architects who were in direct contact with Scandinavian architecture, some of them even with Aalto himself. In the same period, the architect was also written about in the magazine Sinteza, Naša žena, in the newspapers Naši razgledi, Slovenski poročevalec and in the book Veliki arhitekti III.
