"English summary: Compared to the traditional conception of art, architecture presents a challenge to aesthetic philosophy because of its hybrid nature. It is simultaneously an art and a technical, scientific discipline; it is both symbolic and functional; expressive but also utilitarian; rare and refined but also present in daily life. In light of this, this collection presents a contemporary perspective on architecture while also takin ..."
"Les textes traduits ici révèlent les thèmes qui ont parcouru la carrière d’Alvar Aalto, plus enclin à l’architecture qu’à l’écriture comme il l’a reconnu lui-même : humaniser l’architecture en respectant le destinataire de l’édifice, prendre en compte le paysage naturel ou urbain afin de l’améliorer, rechercher la standardisation sans l’uniformisation, répondre à la demande du plus grand nombre avec une extrême exigence de qualité, teni ..."
"This nearly complete collection of Aalto's literary sketches and lectures from 1922 to 1968 expresses the architect's views on modernism, traditionalism, and functionalism, the design of housing and furnishings, city and regional planning, and technology and the quality of life. These short pieces are enriched by drawings from Aalto's travels in the Mediterranean countries and North Africa."

From door ..."

" A compact overview of one of the world's greatest architects "Modern architecture does not mean using immature new materials; the main thing is to work with materials towards a more human line." — Alvar Aalto Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) was strongly influenced by both the landscape of his native country, as well as the political struggle over Finland’s place within European culture.

The Villa Mairea, Aalto House & Studio and the Aalto Summer House are all included, along with Maison Carré - a little known and somewhat mysterious work from his later period, and smaller houses from his earlier years. All buildi ..."
"Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is the most prestigious Finnish architect of the last century, and the father of Nordic Modernism. He once said, "God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is at least for me an abuse of paper." In the U.S. Aalto's critical reception began with his design for the Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 World Fair in New York: Frank Lloyd Wright described it as a "work of genius." After ..."

"Finnish architect and designer, Alvar Aalto, is universally acknowledged as one of the most important figures of twentieth century architecture. His career overlapped chronologically, and for a while ideologically with those of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, but his commitment to a humanitarian ideal inspired by nature, set him apart from his purist Modernist contemporaries and lent his work a very distinct, personal touch.The envi ..."

This fresh, penetrating examination of Aalto's work and influence includes essays by five notable critics and histor ..."
"In the autumn of 1936, Finnish art patrons and industrialists Maire and Harry Gullichsen asked their friends, Alvar and Aino Aalto, to design a home for them. The design process turned into a vivid interaction between architects and clients, and the resulting residence, Villa Mairea, became one of the masterpieces of 20th-century Modernist architecture and design. It also became a lifelong project for Maire Gullichsen, the house's names ..."
"This is, quite possibly, one of the world's best designed art books. Featured within its pages are works from the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection--one of the world's most significant (and yes, controversial) collections of contemporary art. But this book doesn't merely present some 400 works by 40 artists, it also seeks, through its design, to provide an individual stage--or section--for each artist in order to highlight the artist ..."
