{"product_id":"aalto-and-nature-tom-simons-9783035628845","title":"Aalto and Nature","description":"Alvar\u003cbr\u003eAalto's work is strongly influenced by his experience of nature - especially in\u003cbr\u003ethe deep forests of his Finnish homeland. But he also visited the sites of\u003cbr\u003eantiquity on several trips to the Mediterranean and the Orient.\u003cbr\u003eThis book\u003cbr\u003eexplores the dominant theme of nature in Aalto's work in a variety of ways. Interestingly\u003cbr\u003eenough, it is little known that he also worked as a landscape architect and\u003cbr\u003ecreated the garden for Villa Mairea together with the architecture as a \u003ci\u003eGesamtkunstwerk\u003c\/i\u003e. Richly\u003cbr\u003eillustrated essays describe for example Aalto's garden art and the influences\u003cbr\u003eof the Mediterranean landscape on Elissa, Aino and Alvar Aalto. The wonderful\u003cbr\u003ephotographs by Elina Brotherus, mostly taken especially for this book, show\u003cbr\u003eAalto's typical intertwining of interior and exterior spaces and convey the\u003cbr\u003emagic of the Finnish landscape.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fresh look at the work of Elissa, Aino and Alvar Aalto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith four series of photographs by\u003cbr\u003erenowned photographer Elina Brotherus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith contributions by Tom Simons, \u003cbr\u003eRainer Knapas, Vilhelm Helander, Johan Martelius and Teija Isohauta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Simons,Rainer Knapas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303562884X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035628845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tom Simons","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588367790335,"sku":"9783035628845","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aalto-and-nature-tom-simons-9783035628845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
