Alvar Aalto (1898–1976), the Finnish-born,
influential protagonist of the Modern Movement,
is internationally renowned for his elegant
manipulation of form, light, and material, as
well as his rich synthesis of vernacular,
historical, and organic references. The Alvar
Aalto Guide, the newest addition to our popular
guidebook series, showcases over 100 of Aalto's
built works, which are located throughout
Scandinavia, Europe, and the United States. The
numerous photographs and plans of each project
are accompanied by Michael Trencher's detailed
texts. Trencher, a professor of architecture at
Pratt Institute, is a noted Aalto scholar. Among
the buildings he presents are Turun Sanomat
Office Building, Saynatsalo Town Hall, Villa
Mairea, Finlandia Hall, and Baker Dormitory at
MIT. Like all the guidebooks in our series, The
Alvar Aalto Guide contains practical as well as
historical and descriptive material. Heavily
illustrated, the guide provides maps, directions,
addresses, references for further reading, and
resources for architectural touring in Finland.
Additionally, it is prefaced by a trio of texts:
an overview of Aalto's youth, education, and
professional years; an informative essay on
Finland's cultural history; and a fascinating
introduction, entitled "Decoding Aalto".
Together, Trencher's three essays form an
essential and instructive lesson on Aalto's
aesthetic and its influence on modern design.
