At the gathering summarized in this volume, an eminent group of contemporarythinkers looked at Aalto's functionalism in the spirit of a critical reappraisal of theoriginal functionalist concepts in order to find out whether they could provide somesolutions to the problems of our turbulent time. Though they had many differentpoints of view, this book shows that when fine minds look for a synthesis of therational and emotional, collective and individual, technical and cultural, universaland local components of architecture the spirit of Alvar Aalto is kept alive.
