Alvar Aalto designed this impressive private residence for the Gullichsens, major art collectors in Finland. The way Aalto incorporated nature in the design of this house is absolutely striking. For a visitor MAIREA is imprinted in the mind as a kind of realized precedent , a piece of the new, harmonious image of the world. Here with architectural means, masterfully interpreted, its expression has attained a certain concept of life: nature, man and art in mutual harmony.

In this book, the impressive building and structural setting of the Nordjyllands Art Museum becomes fully appreciated. Designed by Elissa and Alvar Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruël, the buildings housing the collections enable visitors to experience the unique and always changing combination of space, lighting and weather. The works of art have optimal conditions in these light, sublime and flexible rooms. Though the succession of enthralling photographs by internationally acclaimed Hélène Binet form the nucleus of the book, it also includes essays on the history of the museum, the interplay of light within building, as well as a presentation of initial sketches for the building.

This is a book on the edge of Alvar Aalto and his architecture. It neither comes too close, nor stays away. It has sympathy for those wanting to be re-enchanted by the grand architect’s obvious charm, while at the same time it longs for someone to protest. Aaltomania seeks to explore, in all the taboos and hagiography on this legendary architect, the questions that have survived so far are not being asked.

This event included the participation of more than 120 students from all the architecture school’s different institutes. The theme of the international workshop was Arhus Harbour, and this was chosen for several reasons. Today, the harbour area is the site of extensive and rapid develpoment and changes. The architecture school wanted to participate in this and contribute creative and innovative ideas to the ongoing debate concerning the opportunities and pootentials for the development of this area.This publication will hopefully offer an insight in the workshop’s methods, processes and results.
