Description and Table of Contents
Description
The richly illustrated book is the first in many years to offer a comprehensive and current overview of Aalto's oeuvre as an architect, designer and urban planner. Ten authors, such as the renowned architectural historians Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen and Akos Moravanszky and MoMA curator Pedro Gadanho, address central aspects in Aalto's work. Particular attention is directed to Aalto's dialogue with important artists of his day, including Laszlo Moholy -Nagy, Jean Arp, Alexander Calder and Fernand Leger, as well as his interest in film, cinema and photography whose influences on his work are examined here for the first time. The catalogue section presents numerous never-before-seen original drawings and architectural models from the archive of the Alvar Aalto Foundation. The new contemporary perspective on Alvar Aalto is complemented with photographs by Armin Linke who documented a number of Aalto's buildings anew especially for this publication. As these images demonstrate: Aalto's work is as current and inspiring today as at the time of its creation.
