Villa Mairea - A Romantic Humanist Experiment



I would like to introduce my latest study, the Villa Mairea through this is, favourite photograph of the building. I think it captures the key ideas behind Aalto's design in a simple unassuming way. The photo depicts the flowing indoor outdoor living an example of how the house was built to adapt to the patterns of life and the strong connection with nature by highlighting the parrallel between the posts within the house and the trees along the horizon. Given, the humanist principles held by Aalto it seems so right that people be framed centerally by the doorway.
