Villa Mairea by Alvar Aalto

One of the finest houses

Villa Mairea is one of the finest houses of the twentieth century. For those familiar with it only from 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 humane, rich and lyrical.
