Description: Villa Mairea is one of the finest houses of the twentieth century. For those familiar with it from only a few images, this book is a revelation. Alvar Aalto used his knowledge of vernacular building, Classicism and Modernism to create a building that is at once humane, rich and lyrical. The result is a work that remains technically innovative and timelessly alluring.The publication, part of the Architecture in Detail series from Phaidon Press, Incorporated, provides a comprehensive and beautifully illustrated guide to the building's history, design, and construction. The author, Richard Weston, offers insight into the architecture of the villa and its surrounding landscape, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the subject. The trade paperback format of the book, with its 60 pages and detailed illustrations, makes it a valuable addition to any architecture enthusiast's collection. Includes about 60 unnumbered pages, many illustrations, some in color. One of the best features of this book is the detailed drawings, taken from the archive of the architect. This copy is in very good condition, with some light wear to the cover. Inside pages are in excellent condition with no marks.
