Aalto himself provides a detailed and extremely interesting description of the design of the Viipuri Library, from the cunning use of numerous skylights to ventilation systems, movable furniture, acoustic construction of the clubroom, and the architectural division between the socially active part of the building and that part designed for the storage of books. Plans and elevations included.
