During the post-war reconstruction era Bryggman designed a number of schools, hospitals and residential buildings. The Resurrection Chapel (1938–1941) in Turku established Modernism in the design of Finnish churches. The Vierumäki Sports Institute (1931–1936), the Åbo Akademi University Book Tower (1934–1935) and Sampo House (1936–1938) are key Functionalist buildings in Finland. The Turku Fair (1929), designed jointly by Aalto and Bryggman, was a manifesto of Functionalism.

At the beginning of his career he designed a number of residential buildings in Turku in the Nordic Classicism style, which are considered some of the finest examples of this style in Finland. In the lecture “Erik Bryggman: Classicism, Functionalism and New Empiricism” the curator will concentrate on the life and work of Erik Bryggman (1891–1955) as one of the most important Finnish architects of the 20th century, also bringing out concurrent parallels with Estonian architecture. ![]() ![]() Architect Erik Bryggman”, the curator Mikko Laaksonen will give a lecture in the Rotermann Salt Storage on Wednesday, February 6 at 6 p.m. In connection to the exhibition “Crisply Nordic. ![]()
