Résumé:
Alvar Aalto et Reima Pietilä se sont nourris de leur terre natale aux saisons extrêmes, la Finlande, nation récente mais toujours ancrée à d’anciennes racines forestières et paysannes libres. Leur activité prolifique, constante expérimentation menée au sein de deux laboratoires d’architecture respectueux de la vie du «modeste individu», est le résultat d’une tradition unique de concours d’architecture démocratiques. Elle compte de nombreux bâtiments à travers le monde, aménagés jusqu’au détail, toujours saisissants d’intériorité et de prévenance. Imprégnés d’une harmonie subtile avec les lieux, leurs espaces hospitaliers appellent à être parcourus et à s’abriter au cœur de la dynamique spatiale qui les définit.

Résumé:
A great deal of Aalto-related research has been conducted over the years in different parts of the world. Some of these contributions have appeared in compendiums, seminar and congress publications and similar works. Many studies, however, have remained unpublished or known inly to a small circle of experts. 'Aalto Studies' is the Alvar Aalto Museum's new scholarly series. It seeks to compile existing research while also providing a channel of publication for new international Aalto research that is continuously growing in extent. This is the first number of 'Aalto studies' a collection of seven studies by Renja Suominen-Kokkonen PhD. Over the cours of several years, the author's research has particularly focused on the role of Aino Aalto alongside her maestro husband, thus expanding our understanding of Aalto and his works. Adjunct Professor Renja Suominen-Kokkonen PhD is at present acting professor of art history at the University of Helsinki.

Résumé:
The Viipuri Library has international reputation as a seminal early work of Alvar Aalto, and is a key example of modern architecture. Simultaneously, the meanings associated with it stem from its geopolitical location: the library was originally opened to the Finnish city of Viipuri, but at the end of the World War II the city was annexed to the Soviet Union. Since 1991(...)

Résumé:
The Viipuri Library has international reputation as a seminal early work of Alvar Aalto, and is a key example of modern architecture. Simultaneously, the meanings associated with it stem from its geopolitical location: the library was originally opened to the Finnish city of Viipuri, but at the end of the World War II the city was annexed to the Soviet Union. Since 1991 the building has been located in modern day Russia. The title of the book reflects the widely spread misunderstanding that the Library has been lost at war, and future generations can learn about it only from drawings and images. This work unfolds its 'life’ in four thematic chapters, each presenting a totally different perspective to what this building is all about: First, the context of the city of Viipuri, second, the Library as a work of Aalto, third, the time period of the Second World War and the Soviet Union, and last, the international restoration project.

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.

Résumé:
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. ''Alvar Aalto Library in Vyborg – Saving a Modern Masterpiece, Part 2'' takes off from where the previous book ended and presents in detail, through texts, photos and drawings, the individual renovation projects that were completed in 2010-2013: the lecture hall, the lending and reading halls, the children’s library, the main entrance and lobby, the basement floors, the book storage and technical systems as well as the external walls and roofs.
