To Alvar Aalto life, art, architecture, and creativity were inseparable from everyday work. When developing ideas or researching a design challenge he moved as easily in the world of natural sciences as he did in the world of art. This remarkable book celebrates the 1998 centenary of Alvar Aalto's birth. It is not the most comprehensive book on his work, but it is without question the most sumptuous and poetic. 23 projects from different decades are featured, ranging from private houses to public buildings.

The text, written by Marku Lahtti, director of the Alvar Alto Museum, intelligently complements the photographic genius of Maija Holma, whose bold images capture the finest details of Aalto's structures and interiors. Works include Finland Hall, House of Culture, Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki; Art Museum, Aalborg, Denmark; Villa Mairea, Noormarkku; and Aalto's own house in Helsinki.

(Vantaa, Finland)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English, German, Italian and Finnish. 175 pp. In a slipcase. To Alvar Aalto, life, art and architecture, creation and everyday work were inseparable He moved as freely in the field of natural science as he did in those of history and art when developing his ideas or searching for solutions to design problemns. This year, 1998, one hundred years have passed since his birth, but his works are still as important today as at the moment they were created. This book includes a representative cross section of Alvar Aalto's works without, however, trying to be comprehensive. The photographs and the text (quotations from Aalto's writings contemporary comments, descriptions of everyday life and work) draw a very human portrait of Alvar Aalto. The material for the book has been generated through collaboration between Markku Lahti, the Director of the Alvar Aalto Museum in Jyväskylä, and Maija Holma, a gifted young photographer. They have chosen for the book 23 subjects from different decades, from private houses to public buildings. The pictures show the buildings as they appear now, moulded by the years and the weather, grown to form a part of their surroundings. Seller Inventory # 4511
