The legendary Library, designed by Alvar Aalto (1927-1935), is situated in the beautiful city of Vyborg, Russia, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, between Helsinki and St Petersburg. In September 2003 the Docomomo International Specialist Committee on Technology (ISC/T) arranged the 7th International Seminar and Workshop of Technology in New York. The title of the seminar was The Case Study and the Technology of Sensations. The aim of the seminar was to experience the technology of the Modern Movement in a workshop held in the chosen case study. The papers presented in this book are the results of research and examinations at the location integrated as theoretical, practical and methodological issues considered in relation to restoration. Various aspects of the building construction as well as lighting, acoustics and the sensations of hands-on experience have been examined.
