The Villa Mairea, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1937-38, is one of the seminal houses of the twentieth century. Designed as a residence for a progressive industrialist Harry Gullichsen and his art collector wife Maire, it manifests a modern utopia; the luxury villa was seen as an experiment in the modern life style and architecture that could be later applied to standard housing . The Villa Mairea is a masterpiece of residential architecture which marks Aalto's departure from the main line of modernism towards his unique synthesis of traditional and modern, organic and technological, tectonic and painterly, emotional and rational. In addition to housing a fine collection of art, the architecture of the Mairea is closely related with the spatia ideas and compositional techniques of modern art. The evocative imagery of the villa fuses together images of high modernity and ageless farm structures, aesthetic refinement and rusticity. The house is a precursor of a sensuous episodic architecture which fuses together an astonishing wealth of forms, materials, details, associations and images. Aalto himself referred to the Villa Mairea as his opus con amore. The essays in this book survey the personalities of the clients and their architect, the evolution of the design concept, architectural strategies and themes, as well as the interior furnishings and the role of Alvar Aalto's wife, Aino Marsio-Aalto, in the design of this modern Gesamtkunstwerk, complete down to the smallest detail. The illustrations are from the complete collection of sketches and drawings of the house in the collections of the Alvar Aalto Foundation, and from a collection of photographs shot especially for this book between 1990 and 1998. Thematically organized photo sections take the reader on a tour around the house, into the living and reception spaces on the ground floor, and finally to the private rooms on the upper floor, Measured drawings, produced especially for this book, record precisely how this complex building was actually constructed after a process of endless studies and alterations. Edited by Juhani Pallasmaa with an introduction by Kristian Gullichsen, essays by Göran Schildt, Juhani Pallasmaa and Renja Suominen-Kokkonen, photographs by Rauno Träskelin, and measured drawings by Darren Stewart Capel.
