Description
This extensive publication documents Alvar Aalto's work on the design
of the Helsinki University of Technology campus, which began when he
won the first prize in an architectural competition in 1949, and
continued with a number of other campus buildings through the 1950s
and 1960s. The totality that Aalto created can still be experienced
today, despite various infills in the area designed by other architects.
Besides numerous photographs and schematics, this excellent survey
includes articles by Aalto experts on the historical background of the
university and its architecture, and on the mid-20th-century university
campus. The Works section presents a selection of buildings and
unrealized projects by the Aalto office between 1947 and 1974.
