This review is from: Alvar Aalto (Obras y Proyectos / Works and Projects) (Paperback)

ISBN: 8425213983 ONLY is an exclusively black & white, concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey of 97 major works on 261 pages published in 1994 by Gustavo Gili (GG) in the Works and Projects series in English and Spanish side by side. A short introductory part on several pages is followed by the main review part presenting each shortly described project in a combination of excellent B&W photos, plans, sections, elevations, hard line presentation drawings, models, sketches, etc. The book is ended with a biography, writings, list of works on several pages. Most of 611 only B&W illustrations are technical, but all (incl. B&W photos) are of a good quality, well balanced, crisp and legible. Like all from the Works and Projects series, it is solid among architectural monographs, but slightly smaller than the same book in German and French side by side in the Studio Paperback series published by Birkhäuser Verlag under ISBN-10: 3764355530 and 3764361395 (Basel)/08176* (Boston) or Artemis Verlag under ISBN-10: 3760881041 (Zürich)/18740* (London).
