Alvar Aalto Houses (PBK)

Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (1898 1976) designed nearly one hundred single-family houses. Aalto worked in a distinctive style that blended modernism and traditional vernacular architecture. Now available in paperback, Alvar Aalto Houses presents twenty-six of Aalto's innovative residences, from small summer homes and postwar standardized housing to large housing complexes for industrial commissions built between the 1920s and the 1960s.
