Aalto in Detail: A Catalogue of Components

Door handles, windows, stairs, exterior lights – components by Alvar, Aino and Elissa from 50 buildings seen in 400 systematically arranged photos

From the publisher:
This carefully curated catalog celebrates the rich detail in the work of Aino, Elissa, and Alvar Aalto. Every support, railing, and handle is the result of intensive formal and functional research.

The authors document 50 Aalto buildings – some well-known and others less so – and arrange their photographs by component into 20 chapters. The result is a rich photographic record that will serve as a source of inspiration for every architect.
