Book synopsis

On its completion in 1935, Alvar Aalto s library in Vyborg was regarded as one of the most significant functionalist buildings of its time. The restoration of the library, which had been in a state of neglect for a long time, began in 1994 and was completed in 2013. The restoration work has since received several awards for the exceptionally high-quality result and the laudable international cooperation. 'Alvar Aalto Library in Vyborg Saving a Modern Masterpiece, Part 2 'takes off from where the previous book ended and presents in detail, through texts, photos and drawings, the individual renovation projects that were completed in 2010-2013: the lecture hall, the lending and reading halls, the children s library, the main entrance and lobby, the basement floors, the book storage and technical systems as well as the external walls and roofs.
