Alvar Aalto : Towards a Human Modernism
Alvar Aalto, Winfried Nerdinger, Friedrich Achleitner
£21.15
In the opinion of such diverse designers as Robert Venturi, James Stirling, Frank O.Gehry and Hans Hollein, Alvar Aalto was the greatest architect of the century. This book, published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth architectural historians from Finland, Sweden, England , Germany and Switzerland focus on Aalto's work. Although Aalto was a modernist architect, he could also be considered " a secret opponent within the modern movement" for his resistance to aesthetic dogmas. In his architecture he always pursued a single goal; to create architecture that was human, that is, serving the people. This volume attempts to close the gap in the scholarship on Aalto by examining his oeuvre and his influence on contemporary architecture.
