"The Magus of the North" : this was the epithet which architecture critic Sigfried Giedion found for Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), the best-known Finnish architect of his generation and a major exponent of a different kind of modernism - one conceived on a more human scale. His buildings, such as the Paimio Tuberculosis Sanatorium or the legendary Villa Mairea, stand for a masterly, organic combination of volumes, materials and light. His laminated plywood chairs made him one of the most important designers of the twentieth century, while his Savoy Vase has come to be seen as the epitome of Finnish and organic design. Alvar Aalto - Second Nature draws on recent research into Aalto's oeuvre to present a comprehensive overview of his work in architecture, design and urban planning, with a special focus on his dialogue with major contemporary artists - including László Moholy-Nagy, Hans Arp, Alexander Calder and Fernand Léger - and his fascination with film, cinema and photography. The book features eleven essays by authors from various countries. The catalogue section presents numerous original drawings from the Alvar Aalto Museum and pieces of Aalto furniture from the holdings of the Vitra Design Museum. A complete list of all his buildings and projects is also included, along with several photographic essays by the artist Armin Linke showing Aalto's buildings from a contemporary perspective.

Dans ces entretiens, réalisés entre 1977 et 2005 et réunis ici pour la première fois, Alvaro Siza commente ses projets essentiels. Tous n'ont pas été construits, mais tous comptent. Depuis les logements sociaux réalisés au lendemain de la Révolution du 25 Avril 1974 jusqu'à la Fondation Camargo au Brésil, inaugurée en 2008, chacun éclaire des points de recherche et de réflexion, à Lisbonne pour la réhabilitation du quartier du Chiado après l'incendie de 1988, à Montreuil avec le plan d'urbanisme du centre-ville, à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle pour un musée, le premier... Ce livre relate ainsi une rencontre au long cours, commencée il y a une trentaine d'années et jamais interrompue. Deux regards s'y croisent et s'y complètent, celui de Dominique Machabert, écrivain et journaliste, et celui de Laurent Beaudouin, architecte. Mais au-delà des réalisations, Siza évoque dans ces entretiens des personnalités qui lui sont chères et livre ses réflexions sur son pays, le Portugal - autant d'opportunités d'en savoir un peu plus sur la pensée profonde d'un grand architecte contemporain. p://www.techno-science.net/?onglet=ouvrages&ID=228119356X (14/06/2010)
