Alvar Aalto : The Mark of the Hand
2: Rakennustieto Publishing, 2011. 1st Edition. Soft cover. "From the soft pencil of his guiding sketches to his work on the construction site, the book reveals the mark of Aalto s hand that lay at the centre of his architectural achievement; a mark that made him one of the most significant architects of the 20th century. This book offers a fresh perspective on Alvar Aalto s creativity through the people who worked in his atelier. The book includes a series of conversations between the atelier s architects, model-makers and secretaries, as well as its consulting engineers and furniture designers. They discuss their time working with the world-famous architect, and consider a total of sixty-four buildings and projects produced by the Aalto atelier. The often touching reminiscences shed light on the varying sources of Aalto s inspiration, how his architectural solutions emerged, and how he directed the flow of his design progress." **** 427 pp. Like new.
