Villa Mairea. S Best Photos of alvaraalto and villamairea. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
Alvar Aalto's Architecture. The Aalto House. The Aalto House Riihitie 20 00330 Helsinki Finland Alvar Aalto 1936 The house and studio that Aalto designed for himself is more modest in scale than his later villers, but has much of the orginality and elegance of form. The studio, for Aalto and his team, is separate from the rest of the house not only laterally, but in height, with steps down from it into the living room. The studio itself is double-height, with a mezzanine gallery.
A generous corner window, looking into the garden, surrounds Aalto's desk at the far end of the studio. The living area of the house is open plan, with a wall of windows looking out down the slope of the garden. Upstairs, the bedrooms are individually more conventional, with windows cut into the timber-clad walls. Less conventionally, the bedrooms are reached via a central landing that also served as a breakfast place, with a hearth.
The vertical, loadbearing structure is partly of brick, but mostly of steel columns... Simon Glynn 2007 (updated 2011) Map Data. Villa Mairea. Products - Armchairs. Alvar Aalto -säätiö | Alvar Aalto Foundation.
