Architecture by Alvar Aalto 2: Alvar Aalto Library, Vyborg

10.00

The booklets in this series present buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, with introductory texts based either on Alvar Aalto’s own writings or on articles written by architectural experts. The contents are enlivened by photographs and architectural drawings of the buildings then and now. The serie has been published since 1976.

Of all Alvar Aalto’s buildings, Viipuri (Vyborg) Library has had an unusually varied history. Aalto won the competition for the Library in 1927 with a completely Classical proposal, but because of the Great Depression, the construction of the Library was postponed several times.
