Aalto - Reviews
"Petite collection architecture chez TASCHEN: A conseiller à tous les amateurs d'architecture, la collection économique de monographies TASCHEN. 96 pages, 6,99 Euros, et un aperçu intéressant sur le travail des plus grands architectes: Saarinen, Wright, Breuer, Le Corbusier, Prouvé, Koenig, Lautner, Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, etc...Au total, plus de 20 titres. A ce prix là, ce serait dommage de se priver d'un peu de culture architecturale!!!"deco-design.bizFrance |

"'Modern architecture does not gather materials but the most important thing is to work with materials towards a more human line', said Alvar Aalto, one of the most influential architects. He was not only influenced by the landscape of his native country, but by the political struggle over Finland's place within European culture. After early neoclassical buildings, Aalto turned to ideas based on Functionalism, subsequently moving toward more organic structures, with brick and wood replacing plaster and steel. In addition to designing buildings, furniture, lamps, and glass objects with his wife Aino, he painted and was an avid traveler. A firm believer that buildings have a crucial role in shaping society, Aalto once said, "The duty of the architect is to give life a more sensitive structure. This handy and reasonable book covers Aalto's outstanding works, from the Savoy vase to the Town Centre in Finland."JDN, TokyoJapan |

"Alvar Aalto fut le chef de file du modernisme scandinave, un modernisme tempéré par une longue tradition artisanale. On lui doit le design accessible, le mobilier empilable, la technique du contreplaqué lamellé courbé, entre autres. Pour un tour d`horizon de l`œuvre du maître du design finlandais, ce livre, très clair et très illustré, passe en revue les différentes types d`architectures réalisés : bâtiments publics et administratifs, immeubles, églises, écoles et universités, maisons de la culture et autres commandes d`Etat, maison d`été expérimentale, assortis de plans, de cartes et notes."Maisons Côté Ouest, ParisFrance |
