Among the main sources of Aalto’s output were commisisions he obtained from Finnish industrialists, especially people in the wood and paper industries. These projects were extensive and multi-faceted, involving not only factories but office and residential buildings. Aalto’s industrial architecture ranged from extensive neighborhood planning to villas for upper management and modest wooden houses for workers. This volume examines Aalto’s role in the service of Finnish industry with particualr emphasis on the industrial and residential aspects of the Sunila project. Plans and elevations included.
