Why read it?
1 author picked Alvar Aalto as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are more than one hundred books written on Alvar and Aino Aalto but none of them are as personal as the ones written by their friend Göran Schildt.
I hold The Human Factor highest. Alvar Aalto conceived a deep understanding of life and created a sensitive architecture that embraced it. He was praised for that, but Schildt goes beyond the glory and explains how humane architecture remained controversial in a technological era.
From Rasmus' list on what architecture is about.
