Description
Much work has been done on the meaning and significance of Alvar Aaltos work in recent years, but this generally takes the form of identifying motifs, and broad motivations. Little specific interpretation has been teased out. That argument that is developed here is that Alvar Aaltos work, as a whole, is characterized by referential and narrative devices which he uses to tell architectural stories. These stories contain several broad themes which he developed, and returned to again and again throughout his life. His individual buildings can be seen as essays, or stories which articulate these themes.
