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.

What has it become and what will happen to it in the future? This great book about the Danish single-family house illustrates not only their architecture, but also their economic and social basis.

Employing the talents of engineers, architects, city planners, and others, the art of bridge building is in essence a collaborative effort. Because the building of bridges inherently deals with conforming to a pre-existing environment, this exhibition highlights the fact that bridges themselves are alike while their locations are markedly different. Drawing from models, drawings, and existing bridges from both past and present, this book provides unparalleled insight into this art form that is truly unique. The innovative work of Santiago Calatrava is juxtaposed to past bridge-building in order to emphasize the startling range of possibilities in this field.
