Reconstruction of A. Ahlström Co. sawmill in Varkaus, Alvar Aalto, 1944
Alvar Aalto’s architecture is part of the history of international modern architecture. As early as 1941, the Swiss architectural historian Siegfried Giedion placed Aalto’s extensive body of work in an important position in his book on the history of architecture in the twentieth century, Space, Time and Architecture.
Alvar Aalto’s ability to synthesise rationalist architecture with an organic language of form, and his way of combining materials and making the landscape part of the building are unique. Aalto’s architecture is still discussed by students and lovers of architecture all over the world.
Most of Alvar Aalto’s architecture is situated in Finland, far away from the metropolises of Europe. His work has been published widely in a great many books and it is possible to visit many of the buildings and their surroundings

It's interesting how new passions can start out of almost nothing. I wasn't interested in ceramics or porcelain to long ago. And then a visit at linck ceramics atelier got me started. Our linck collection quickly grew from a single vase to a nice little collection.
Last year we got a beautiful vase made by Christine-Ann Richards as a present.
Last month in New York we went to Moss. The whole shop is filled with nice things. But most impressive was their porcelain and ceramic selection.
They had lot's of beautiful things from the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory.
I'd love to have one of these!

and watching human activities. their favorite spots are public spaces
like coffee bars, windows and shop displays. but they also love to get taken around
by you since they won't move by themselves. it is not known where they originally
came from, but they seem to have adopted certain aspects of human culture.
the first series reveals 8 from an unknown amount of different species to be uncovered.
Right now exclusively available at Kitchener .
