Alvar Aalto : A Critical Study

Alvar Aalto, Malcolm Quantrill

description

A critical study of the life and work of Alvar Aalto by Malcolm Quantrill. "In this definitive appreciation of Aalto's oeuvre, Professor Quantrill assesses its development against the background of both the Finnish National Romantic and the Modern movements in architecture. His critique of all Aalto's most significant buildings and furniture designs is complemented by a selection of photographs that penetratingly displays the working of his subject's mindin every stage of creativity, from spontaneous exploration in the initial sketches to the fitness of the completed detail." -- from interior flap. Includes appendix of furniture and interiors, chronological list of main works, map of Finland, notes, selected bibliography, and index. Printed in black-and-white and color.
