Résumé:
Influenced by both the landscape and the political independence of his native Finland, Alvar Aalto designed warm, curving, compassionate buildings, wholly set apart from the slick, mechanistic, geometric designs that characterized much contemporary European practice. This book brings together Aalto’s key works to introduce the architect as a champion of environmentally sound, progressive design, with a deep-rooted sense of home.

Résumé:
Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) is the creator of the ubiquitous Knoll “Tulip” chairs and tables. Among Saarinen’s greatest accomplishments are Washington D.C.’s Dulles International Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630 ft. (192 m) high Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri, each of them defining structures of postwar America. Catenary curves were present in many of his structural designs. During his long association with Knoll, Saarinen’s other famous furniture pieces included the “Grasshopper” lounge chair and the “Womb” settee.
