Pauli E. Blomstedt

Pauli Ernesti Blomstedt (1900-1935) graduated in 1922 as an architect from the Helsinki University of Technology. He was an uncompromising Modernist and sometimes too modern for his time. Blomstedt was one of the leading representatives of Functionalism. The Soumalainen Säästöpankki bank building in Kotka represents the most mature achievements of Finnish Functionalism
