Aalto in Detail : A Catalogue of Components

What a fine idea, this new detail series from Birkhauser. This is the first selection, building elements from 50 of Aalto’s buildings - deep to the root of architecture culture, to the very handcraft. Nineteen sections - porches, ceilings, pillars, stairs, balconies, windows, skylights, garage doors, exterior doors, interior doors, lift doors, door handles, handrails, drainage, fireplaces, fixtures, exterior lamps.

The honor of such components, of such detail. Each page, a single color photo, with location and date.
