Learning with Alvar Aalto - Maison Louis Carré

This a new type of video we wanted to bring to Upstairs! We, as architects, learn so much by studying other projects, and how other architects think. That we thought of bringing this analysis over a short video.
We're still going to be creating Architectural Representation and Visualization videos. So don't worry!
Please let us know what you think about it. We were thinking about creating this as a monthly series and have a dedicated playlist for it.
The first episode is the Maison Louis Carré by the architect Alvar Aalto, a house from 1959. An amazing architecture piece!

This is where we've researched for this video:
archdaily.com
navi.finnisharchitecture.fi
www.alvaraalto.fi/en/architec...
maisonlouiscarre.fr/mlc/en/
catesthill.com/2017/04/12/insi...
www.thewoodhouseny.com/journa...
www.nytimes.com/
A lot of photographs from Maison Louis Carré are from Samuel Ludwig.

    We're not planning to stop posting visualization stuff, this is still going to be main channel focus. But from time to time why not learn from important Architects, right? Don't forget to leave suggestions for future videos! 😉

    Most of the time one encounters only exteriors for aalto architecture. However, the more I see the interiors the more I see the similarities with Barragan. The entry and bookshelf strikes the feeling for the casa-estudio in Tacubaya. Evidently the panel work on the ceiling is unique, however the "feeling" is similar. Or it's just an architect's fantasy, who knows.
