Product Description:

Das Gesamtwerk von Alvar Aalto mit Bauten und Projekten aus den Jahren 1922-1976 liegt in 3. Auflage vor. 1295 Fotos, Photos, 385 Pläne und 240 Skizzen zeigen in chronologischer Rheinenfolge alle wichtigeren Bauten.

Rated by buyers -
This books contains almost all the architectural work of the finnish, in a highly detailed and careful way; full of plans and photographs and with texts of one of his closest collaborators and biographer. This 3 volume set displays chronologically the Aalto's evolution, very first a as house designer, later as a public buildings master and finally as a city planner, always setting the primary interest in the people rather than in the modernist and rationalist eficient, accurate and fast way to do the architecture. A lection of style and responsability for any architect.
