Viljo Revell (1910-1964) was a Finnish architect. He studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology. Revell was of the Functionalist school. The Functionalist views originate with the Gothic Revival architects which according to Augustus Welby Pugin “there should be no features about a building which are not necessary for convenience, construction, or propriety” and “all ornament should consist of enrichment of the essential construction of the building”. Post World War I the purpose was to create architecture to build a new and better world.
