ALVAR AALTO FOUNDATION 1938-39

Description
The seminal Aalto House, The complete work printed in colour from the Alvar Aalto Foundation. 168 pages, 355 illustrations, perfect worn condition. No details are spared in this Tour de Alvar. The house from 1938-39 in english.

One of the best by the best - don’t be foolish - having this around you will make you better. Thematically organized photo sections take the reader on a tour through all the sanded wood and stacked brick moments you are sure to miss in every other book claiming documentation of such an iconic and genre pushing piece of architecture.

Modern, organic, industrial, emotional, traditional, and complex this residential domicile has sensibilities that engage spatial relation and the poetry of space. The incorporation of many of Aalto’s best furniture pieces grace many the home as if they were born there.

Alvar himself considers this house to be his opus con amore. Aalto would have wanted you to have this book to share with family, friends, and of course future generations that must benefit from the architectural genius that is Alvar. This is straight from the foundation. This is not Phaidon or Taschen.
