The Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Paimio/Paimio Hospital is a very interesting study of how architecture can be adapted to the needs of ill people. From the placement of windows to the dining hall, from the furniture in the recreation room to the entrance foyer, from the location of the kitchen to rest terraces, this is a wonderful design by a great master.

Extensive presentations of Paimio and the Villa Mairea are supplemented by a chronological cross section of his principal architectural works. Many furniture designs are included in this book, as well as elevations and detailed drawings for many of his projects.

How do Aalto’s urban design principles show up in his work in the Finland of today? This book introduces 11 areas from the 1920s to the 1970s: administrative and cultural centres, universities, office buildings and suburbs. The extensive illustrative material for the book has been photographed by Timo Koho in 1996 and 1997 to show Alvar Aalto’s work from different decades as it appears today, as a part of the urban milieu of the 1990s. Together with the text it also tells of the validity of Aalto’s value in the present decade.
