This chronicle travels through a series of conversations with the members of Alvar Aalto's workshop that span a period of 50 years from 1944 to 1994. More than 60 projects are covered, discussing the full range of Aalto's craft and journeying. Placing these projects in their own time and among the people and milieu that cultivated them, the study illustrates these structures not just as artifacts but as part of a dynamic—and often contentious—environment, demonstrating how the workshop itself formed an integral part of Aalto's achievements.

Summary:
On its completion in 1935, Alvar Aalto’s library in Vyborg was regarded as one of the most significant functionalist buildings of its time. The restoration of the library, which had been in a state of neglect for a long time, began in 1994 and was completed in 2013. The restoration work has since received several awards for the exceptionally high-quality result and the laudable international cooperation.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage, fondé sur des renseignements tirés d'archives jusqu'alors inexploitées, constitue la première vue d'ensemble de la production d'Aalto en tant que designer. Il permet de préciser le travail de l'artiste d'un point de vue structurel, sa recherche de lignes et de formes nouvelles, tout en le replaçant dans les préoccupations sociologiques qui l'ont toujours motivé. Ainsi est mise en lumière la sensibilité de cet architecte en matière de design, qui s'étend avec une rigueur et une qualité égales de l'urbanisme des grands projets au mobilier conçu pour les habiter, des fauteuils aux objets de verre, des poignées de porte aux luminaires.
