Alvar Aalto vs. The Modern Movement: The 1st International Alvar Aalto Symposium

The Alvar Aalto symposia are an ongoing series of public conversations among
invited authorities on cultural movements, architecture, urban planning and design.
This book on the 1st International Alvar Aalto Symposium was held at a time of utter
confusion in modern architecture, when, many believe, the field was in chaos. Much
of this compendium of symposium presentations focuses on the present state of
functionalism - in its broadest sense, modernism - and the life work of Alvar Aalto.
