For the Aalto Moment in Your Projects

The authors document 50 Aalto buildings – some well-known and others less so – and arrange their photographs by component into 20 chapters. The result is a rich photographic record that will serve as a source of inspiration for every architect.

Individual architects & architectural firms, Architectural details, components and motifs
"Aalto in Detail acts a bit like a guidebook, and while I didn't
expect there to be maps or other information akin to architectural
guides (there aren't any), I was pleased to find an index of the nearly
fifty buildings, organized by location and project. So people visiting
Kauttua, for example, can see a list of the three buildings located
there (Lohiluoma Residential Building, Sauna and Laundry, Terrace
Housing) and the pages on which their components are presented. This
index takes up just two pages, but it reminds me that far too many other
books I've encountered have opted, for one reason or another, to not
include similarly helpful indices, making their books less
user-friendly." (archidose.blogspot.com, John Hill, 03.10.2022)
