How do Aalto’s urban design principles show up in his work in the Finland of today? This book introduces 11 areas from the 1920s to the 1970s: administrative and cultural centres, universities, office buildings and suburbs. The extensive illustrative material for the book has been photographed by Timo Koho in 1996 and 1997 to show Alvar Aalto’s work from different decades as it appears today, as a part of the urban milieu of the 1990s. Together with the text it also tells of the validity of Aalto’s value in the present decade.
