The Aalto House is a seminal project in Alvar Aalto’s development from the ideals of orthodox functionalism towards the complex, tactile, inclusive and emotive architecture of his mature age. The design development of the house reveals Aalto’s rejection of simplistic rationality and the emergence of his personal thinking that penetrates into the experiential essence of architectural pleasure. The book includes brief descriptions with definitive illustrations or realized and unrealized projects contemporaneous with the Aalto House, carried out by the Alvar Aalto’s architectural office between 1933 and 1936. Plans and elevations included.
