Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is one of the last of the twentieth-century generation of architects. From urban planning to simple residential buildings, his buildings function as a single organism. Aalto was never interested in formal architectural theories: from the first sketches to the finished work handed over to the client, the journey of each building is fascinating and strongly defined by the architect's personality.
This three-volume catalogue raisonné covers all of Alvar Aalto's work - buildings and projects - from 1922 to 1976, making the simplicity and incomprehensibility of Aalto's architecture tangible.
