A propos de l'auteur

Alvar Aalto is considered the father of modernism in Scandinavia. He was born in Kuortane, Finland. His reputation as an architect has spread far beyond the bounds of his native country, where he built the major part of his work. He is perhaps Finland's greatest architect and certainly one of the afficher plus major figures of twentieth-century architecture. As early as 1923, Aalto built in a typical Scandinavian style, relying heavily on native materials-timber in Finland's case-and produced such masterworks as the Library at Viipuri (1927-35), the Paimio Sanitarium, and the Villa Mairea. In 1932 he invented the process for making bent wood furniture. After World War II, his work began to be noticed internationally as he developed his own singular style, and he built some of his finest works-the Finlandia Concert Hall, in Helsinki, and the Baker Dorms at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his only building in the United States, (1947-49). His style is based on irregular and asymmetric forms with many curved walls and single-pitched roofs and with a highly imaginative use of natural materials. Aalto is also known for the design of several classic styles of chairs, tables, and glassware. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Critiques

Alvar Aalto par Karl Fleig

By the time I came across this book on Alvar Aalto, I already owned two books on the Finnish master: Richard Weston's large-format history and Malcolm Quantrill's critical study of the architect. Neither of those titles is exhaustive in Aalto's projects nor comprehensive in the inclusion of drawings. Such is the bonus of this admittedly small paperback that is adapted from a two-volume set published in Switzerland – it is full of drawings of both completed and never-built projects. Comments, by the architect himself, are minimal, but this is a great book to have for studying the floor plans and other drawings of his libraries, churches, cultural centers, town halls, houses, and so forth.… (plus d'informations)
