In this new, thorough, and visually sumptuous study of one of the most innovative and productive masters of the twentieth century, essays by five architectural critics and historians consider Aalto’s theories and practices in terms of the International Style, nature, industry, the rebuilding of postwar Europe, and his legacy for succeeding generations of architects.

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.

This edition presents the Dutch architect Raoul Bunschoten and concentrates on his three latest projects (from the period 1988-91): Soul’s Cycle, Berlin and Apeiron and The Skin of the Earth. Bunschoten’s use of materials, ferrocement and steel, make a high degree of precision necessary. The heavy concrete sections are cast in specially-made moulds, and are held up by the collection of small steel plates and steel wire. At the same time, heavy objects are liberated from the ground, or move on wheels. Bunschoten has a bold, exciting vision.

This book consists of photographs taken and personally selected by the Finnish Architectural photographer Jussi Tiainen. All the 28 buildings in the book have been completed since 1994. They represnt a wide variety of types, from large public buildings to private houses and they are located in Tallinn, Berlin and different parts of Finland. What they all have in common is the high quality of their architecture: they represent the best Finnish architecture of the last few years. The photographs all share the uncompromising view of the photographer: the way he brings out the harmony of colours and forms.
