Aalto’s life was closely tied to Jyväskyla and its outlying areas, and his later designs are conspicuous in the city’s architecture. In 1969 the Alvar Aalto Museum began operation, and continues to be, as per the wishes of Aalto himself, a living museum, universal, not restricted to the work of a single artist, a museum where the visual arts and architecture are represented in all their complexity.

In the meeting between the imaginary and real life, architecture comes into being. In this issue of the Architectural Magazine B, Australian architects, writers and artists discuss the thin and porous line between the imaginary and the real, expressing their visions of the Australian reality. The projects here present a selection of contemporary Australian architecture, from Darwin in the north to the large cities in the south, Melbourne and Sydney, from the wastelands in the west around Perth, to Queensland’s sunshine coast in the east. The projects have primarily been created by the younger generation of architects who, working from small firms for private clients, constitute niches in Australia’s tough and commercialized construction sector. It is important for architects to study how settlements in the new culture-landscapes are formed, how the architecture is defined in these spaces and how new connections can be created in a meeting between old architectural ideals and new surroundings.

The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden was founded in the 1820s with the motto “ œScience and Art“ which, at the time, were considered the foundation for the progress of mankind. The motto’s message still survives strongly today, as the building of the Institute itself was completed with this message in mind. The buildings contain close to 150 works of art by some of the leading Swedish artists at the time, such as Carl Milles and Georg Pauli, for example. This book offers a presentation of these works, descriptions of the ideas and influences underlying them, as well as a brief account of the Institute’s history.

In 1990, the Museum of Architecture in Sweden asked 40 women architects, who worked with/ designed houses, city plans, research, landscape, or interior design, to designate their “ œbest“ projects for this exhibition. Included are the writings and black and white photography of works by all 40 architects in their attempts to describe themselves, their lives, and their “ œbest“ work. Because of this personal approach, this catalog is an invaluable resource which effectively reveals the thoughts and works of pioneering Swedish female architects all from this century with an emphasis on modernism.
