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
