Product Description

Book Description

Over the course of a career spanning more than fifty years, Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) designed nearly one hundred single-family houses. Aalto, who is also known for his furniture and glassware, worked in a unique style that blended modernism and traditional vernacular architecture. Authors Jari and Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen (Finnish Summer Houses) present twenty-six of Aalto's innovative residences from small summer homes and postwar standardized housing to large housing complexes for industrial commissions built between the 1920s to the 1960s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Mar 7 2006

By Leticia C. Bortolon - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Alvar Aalto Houses (Paperback)

A very beautiful look inside the work of a great architect. For those who are precisely interested in Alvar Aalto projects for houses, I haven't found a better book yet.
