VILLA MAIREA

ARQUITECTOS: HUGO HENRIK ALVAR AALTO

LOCALIZACIÓN: NOORMAKKU, FINLANDIA.

CRONOLOGÍA:

INICIO DE PROYECTO: 1937

FIN DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN: 1940

Biografía del Arquitecto:

Alvar Aalto nació en kuortane, Finlandia, el 3 de febrero de 1898. Fue un importante arquitecto y diseñador de muebles. Aalto fue uno de los arquitectos que mas influencia tenía a lo largo de sus mas de cincuenta años de carrera.

En el año 1921 se graduó en Arquitectura y desde entonces, estuvo realizando sus obras por todo el mundo. En 1922 realiza su primera obra, el Edificio de Exposición Industrial de Tempere. Tras ello, en el año 1923 fundó su propio estudio de arquitectura.

Sus primeros proyectos tenían el típico estilo clasista nórdico, pero su carrera evolucionó y empezó a tomar una estética del movimiento modero. 

En la arquitectura de Alvar Aalto el uso de formas geométricas básicas revela el racionalismo funcionalista, sin embargo, la utilización conjunta de líneas sinuosas tiende a romper la ortogonalidad de la caja arquitectónica a la vez que acentúa la corporeidad de su edificio.

Recibe numerosos premios a lo largo de su carrera, entre los que se encentran la Gran Cruz de la Orden del Halcón en Islandia y la Grande Medaille de l’Academie de l’Architecture, ambas otorgadas en el año 1973.

Sus obras mas destacadas son:

Universidad de Jyväskylä, Ayuntamiento de Säynätsalo, Stephanuskirche, Biblioteca de Viipuri, MIT Baker House Dormitory…

Descripción de la obra:

Alvar Aalto fue siempre presentado como el “humanizador y naturalizador” de una arquitectura racional y modernamente fría para la época.

Hay indicios de que Aalto se inspiró de Maire, ya que ella había estudiado pintura en París de los años 20. Gracias a la técnica del collage hizo que Aalto pudiera hacer una casa magnífica e inconfundiblemente finlandesa.

La Villa Mairea es una casa de verano construida en Noormarkku, Finlandia. Esta fue diseñada para el matrimonio finlandés Gullichsen a mediados de la década de los años treinta.

El matrimonio dio al Arquitecto y su ayudante vía libre para plantear una casa diseñada hasta el más mínimo detalle existente, ya que le garantizaron un presupuesto sin límites.

Es una casa que tiene dos plantas. En el primer nivel podemos encontrar el patio, que está totalmente integrado hacia el espacio natural. En el centro del patio, se encuentra una piscina que, con su forma orgánica, se asemeja a los lagos finlandeses. También existe el hall de entrada hacia la casa.

En el interior podemos ver un vestíbulo que conduce al salón, el cuál está al lado de la sala de reuniones y la biblioteca, ambas separadas por tabiques. A la salida de dichas salas, se encuentran unas escaleras que conducen a la segunda planta. Además de estos espacios, se encuentra la cocina y la oficina principal. Aunque parece una vivienda bastante jerarquizada, existe un espacio muy fluido debido a la disposición de las columnas puestas de formas aleatorias siguiendo la idea del bosque.

En la segunda planta, podemos observar una sala de juegos de niños, y del vestíbulo se puede acceder a los dormitorios. El de los niños y el del matrimonio está separado por un baño. Frente a estos dos dormitorios, se encuentran otros dos dormitorios que dan hacia la terraza. Por último, también se encuentra el taller de Maire Gullichsen. Este taller de pintura tiene una fuerte relevancia en la composición exterior de la villa Mairea.

Do you ever get sad knowing that you'll never know all the languages and so since translators make choices (they have to) and things sometimes don't fully translate you can never experience every book exactly as it was originally intended to be read?

Okay I’m fulling writing all the Society of Protection character backstories and I really let myself go here, they’re getting dark…

like to rank them from least to most traumatizing with what you all know about the revealed backstories…

10.) Emma Orczy (???)

9.) Alexandre Dumas (parents were murdered, was an orphan, and sought revenge on who wronged his family)

8.) Jane Austen (forced marriage, daughter died, husband tried to convince her that bringing their daughter back was possible, ran away and started a new live only to have that ripped away)

7.) Victor Hugo (forced to become his brother after he died and then killed his parents out of anger and on accident)

6.) Henrik Ibsen (???)

5.) William Shakespeare (child assassin, parents murdered in front of him)

4.) Leo Tolstoy (???)

3.) Gaston Leroux (Sent to hunt down Fyodor but could never succeed, ???, ???)

2.) Lewis Carroll (???)

1.) Dr. R.L. Stevenson (???)

Like Jesus I went so dark with these, especially Gaston, Lewis, and Stevenson

Snow Spears and the Seven Dwarves (Unexpected Musicals) — PattyCake Productions music video

There's an element of fantasy and fairy tales in modern pop culture stardom. Celebrities can be plucked out of obscurity and thrust into positions of power they're unprepared for, or toppled from their pedestals for superficial reasons.

When the guys of PattyCake Productions were considering how to make their debut / proof of concept to the world, they leaned into their greatest strengths — music and visual storytelling. Layne and Tony built on their experience with VoicePlay's musical medleys and expanded that idea into a full story arc. Blending the music of one of the biggest singers of the late 90s with a timeless childhood narrative (not to mention incredible costumes, sets, and a wealth of talent from among their theme park friends) resulted in this incredibly fun reimagining of a Disney classic.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals – Snow Spears and the Seven Dwarves

performers: Olivia Adkins (Snow White); Michelle Knight (Queen); Layne Stein (magic mirror); Tony Wakim (huntsman); Jason Tibbs (Prince); Jen Vargas, Tymisha Harris, Robin Buda, Kathy Castellucci, Jose Rodriguez, Tina Fleming, & Charlie Crook (dwarves)

original songs / performer: all songs by Britney Spears — "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman"; [1:20] "I'm A Slave 4 U"; [1:45] "Boys"; [2:12] "Till the World Ends"; [2:45] "Toxic"; [3:45] "Hold It Against Me"

written by: "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" by Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, & Dido Armstrong; "I'm A Slave 4 U" by Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams; "Boys" by Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams; "Till the World Ends" by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Alexander Kronlund, Max Martin, & Kesha Sebert; "Toxic" by Cathy Dennis, Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, & Henrik Jonback; "Hold It Against Me" by Max Martin, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, & Bonnie McKee

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 29 August 2016

My favorite bits:

the flute trills in the "Not A Girl" orchestration to emulate Snow's songbird friends so that they didn't have to show them on screen

Snow harmonizing with the echo in the well

bassy Layne as the magic mirror & Tony's cameo as the huntsman

the dwarves' jaunty whistling à la "Heigh Ho" during "Boys" (and the fact that most of them are women)

using "Toxic" to underscore the Evil Queen's poisoned apple machinations 🍎

Michelle switching between two different timbres for the Queen and the Hag

the slightly spicier tone of the Prince's introduction due to the choice of "Hold It Against Me"

also, the screen-accurate costuming — Holy moly, Tony.

Trivia:

The final scene had to be filmed over the course of four days in order to get consistent lighting in the outdoor location.

Olivia later reprised her role as Snow White in several other Unexpected Musical videos, and in the Princess Academy series.

Michelle has reprised her role as the Evil Queen for many episodes of their Villains Lair series. When she appears, the visual effect of Layne's face as the magic mirror is often reused in the background.

Michelle has also played Snow White in a satirical musical called Disenchanted! that began at the 2011 Orlando Fringe Festival and had an off-Broadway run a few years later.

The most beautiful old cafes in the world

It's hard to believe, but some cafes have existed for several centuries. Just imagine that you can go for a coffee and you will be surrounded by objects that are already 200, or even 300 years old. And how many stories such establishments keep! In this article, we'll highlight 30 old retro cafes you might want to visit on your next trip.

Cafe Chris, Amsterdam

Location:  Bloemstraat 42, 1015 TB Amsterdam, Netherlands Cafe Chris is the oldest establishment in Amsterdam, founded in 1624 in the Jordaan district. Due to its dark interior, it is also called “Brown Cafe”. Once upon a time, workers who were building the Westerkerk bell tower came here for wages. The cafe still has old floorboards, backlit windows, and dark wood paneling.

Gran Caffe Quadri, Venice

Location: Piazza San Marco, 121, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy The establishment opened its doors in 1638 - then it was called Il Rimedio. Malvasia wine was served here and was said to “invigorate the body and awaken the mind.” In 1775, merchant Giorgio Quadri and his wife Naxina, who arrived from Corfu, decided to invest in this cafe. This is how the history of Gran Caffe Quadri began. In 1830, management passed to the Vaerini brothers, who expanded the establishment by one more floor. In 2011, the Alaimo family bought the cafe. In 2018, Gran Caffe Quadri underwent a major renovation. The famous French creative and designer Philippe Starck was invited to transform it.

Cafe Procope, Paris

Location: 13 Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, 75006 Paris, France Café Procope is the first literary café in Paris. It was discovered in 1686 by Sicilian immigrant Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli - after whom it took its name. Following the traditions of the Procopio family, who ran the establishment for many years, the cafe serves sorbet and granita (crushed ice), the forerunners of ice cream. King Louis XIV appointed Café Procope as the exclusive producer of sorbets. Its famous visitors include Napoleon, Honoré de Balzac, Paul Verlaine, Victor Hugo and Voltaire.

Cafe Tomaselli, Salzburg

Location: Alter Markt 9, 5020 Salzburg, Austria In the center of Salzburg, on the Alter Markt square, there is the Tomaselli cafe, perhaps one of the most famous in the world. Family-owned for centuries, this restaurant embodies stylish Austrian coffee culture. The first cafe was opened here in 1703, and in 1852 it was bought by Karl Tomaselli. Mozart and his wife Constance, playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and composer Carl Weber loved to visit it. Cafe Tomaselli recommends trying the Einspänner (double espresso with cold whipped cream) and Melange (an espresso-based coffee drink with the addition of heated and frothed milk and whipped cream).

Caffe Florian, Venice

Location: Piazza San Marco, 57, 30124 Venezia VE, Italy Caffe Florian is one of the first cafes in what is now Italy. It was opened in 1720 under the name Alla Venezia Trionfante. The establishment gained popularity due to the fact that both men and women could visit it - in those years this was very rare. Over time, the cafe began to be called Florian - in honor of the owner Floriani Francesconi. In 1760, the sales point for Venice's first newspaper, Gazzetta Veneta, was opened here. At different times, the cafe was visited by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Goethe, Charles Dickens, George Byron, Giacomo Casanova, Ernest Hemingway and others. Today, Caffe Florian offers more than 30 varieties of coffee drinks, many desserts, salads and light snacks.

Antico Caffe Greco, Rome

Location: Via dei Condotti, 86, 00187 Roma RM, Italy Antico Caffè Greco is a historical café in Rome, opened in 1760. Its founder is the Greek Nicola della Maddalena. Over the centuries, the elegant Caffè Greco has been visited by Hans Christian Andersen, George Byron, Henrik Ibsen, John Keats, Mark Twain and others. Some 300 paintings, memorabilia and vintage photographs of famous clients adorn the walls of this establishment. And gilded mirrors and a piano help maintain an authentic atmosphere.

Caffè Al Bicerin, Turin

Location: Piazza della Consolata, 5, 10122 Torino TO, Italy The history of the establishment began in 1763, when Giuseppe Dentis opened his small shop in the premises opposite the entrance to the Santuario della Consolata Cathedral. In 1856, the current building was built here according to the design of the architect Carlo Promis. And then the cafe acquired a more elegant form, which we can appreciate today - its walls were decorated with wooden panels, mirrors and lamps. It now has round white marble tables, a counter, and shelves. This establishment was the birthplace of the famous Turin drink Bicerin - a mixture of coffee, chocolate, milk and syrup. Even Alexandre Dumas mentioned it in one of his novels.

El Fishawy, Cairo

Location: El-Gamaleya, El Gamaliya, Cairo Governorate, Egypt El Fishawy Café is hidden in the heart of Khan Al Khalili Souk. Its doors opened to visitors in 1773. The first owner of the establishment served Turkish coffee to his friends after sunset. There were more and more people wanting to enjoy a cup of aromatic drink and discuss city news. And then the owner bought buildings nearby, added even more items and hookah to the menu. The current owners of El Fishawy, heirs of the founder, are trying to preserve the traditions and atmosphere of the establishment.

Cafe Tortoni, Buenos Aires, 1858

Location: Av. de Mayo 825, C1084 Buenos Aires, Argentina Cafe Tortoni is considered the oldest in Argentina. It was opened by an emigrant from France in 1858 and named after the café of the same name in Paris. It is worth noting that the first premises of Cafe Tortoni were located on Avenida Rivadavia. The cafe moved to its current location in 1880. The owners have maintained the same style of the establishment throughout all the years of its existence. There is a tango room, as well as tables for playing billiards, dominoes and dice. His most famous guests were Garcia Lorca, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Gardel, Hillary Clinton, Albert Einstein, Robert Duvall.

Café Gerbeaud, Budapest

Location: Budapest, Vörösmarty tér 7-8, 1051 Hungary Café Gerbeaud is the most famous cafe in Europe, whose history began in 1858. Its founder is Henrik Kugler, a representative of the third generation of a dynasty of confectioners. He became the first to offer customers slices of his signature Coogler cake to-go in cardboard boxes. During a visit to Paris in 1882, Henrik Kugler met Emil Gerbaud - they soon became business partners. And later, a French confectioner entrepreneur bought the cafe completely. With the advent of Gerbeau, many changes took place in the confectionery - the menu expanded, the equipment changed, and the staff increased. Café Gerbeaud became a favorite place not only among city residents, but also among city guests, since the prices here were affordable for absolutely everyone. After Emile Gerbeau's death in 1919, his wife ran the confectionery. From 1950 to 1984 the cafe was nationalized and was called Vörösmarty. In 1995, Café Gerbeaud was bought by German entrepreneur Erwin Franz Müller. The establishment was renovated and restored to its historical appearance.

Gran Caffè Gambrinus, Naples, Italy

Location: Via Chiaia, 1/2, 80132 Napoli NA, Italy The legendary coffee shop is located in the center of Naples. The establishment was founded by Vincenzo Apuzzo in 1860 - his dream was to create the best cafe in Italy. The next owner was Mario Vacca in 1889. By that time, the premises were already in need of reconstruction. The owner of the cafe invited an architect and artists who worked on updating the interior. Their paintings and sculptures adorn Caffè Gambrinus to this day. The establishment was once visited by Matilda Serao, Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant, Princess Sissi, and Emile Zola. By the way, the tradition of caffé sospeso was born here - paying for coffee for the next customer.

Cafe de la Paix, Paris

Where is it: 5 Pl. de l'Opéra, 75009 Paris, France Café de la Paix is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, at the intersection of Boulevard des Capucines and Place de l'Opéra, in the building of the Le Grand Hotel. The hotel and cafe were opened in 1862 with the financial support of the Pereire brothers. The Café de la Paix gained its first international reputation in 1867, serving the International Exhibition. The establishment, located next to the Opera Garnier, attracted many famous personalities. Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Jules Massenet, the Prince of Wales and Edward VII visited here. In 1896, Eugene Piroux held film screenings at the Café de la Paix, and later a radio studio was organized there. Just like 150 years ago, today the restaurant is also very popular. Salads, hot dishes, snacks and desserts are served here.

Café du Monde, New Orleans

Location: 800 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116, USA Café du Monde is a true New Orleans landmark. The establishment has been in business since 1862 and always serves dark roasted chicory coffee, milk (regular or chocolate), fresh orange juice, hot chocolate and French donuts (beignets).

Cafe Landtmann, Vienna

Location: Universitätsring 4, 1010 Wien, Austria Café Landtmann is the oldest in Vienna. Guests began to be received here on October 1, 1873. Franz Landtmann dreamed of opening not just a coffee shop, but the most elegant place in Vienna. And he did everything for this - visitors were delighted with the innovative spirit of the establishment. Years passed, the owners changed, but this place was always popular among citizens and guests of the capital. In the 1970s, Cafe Landtmann was threatened with closure, but thanks to the efforts of the new owners, it was saved.

Baratti & Milano, Turin

Location: Piazza Castello, 27, 10123 Torino TO, Italy Caffè Baratti & Milano is a historic café in Turin, opened in 1875 in the central Galleria Subalpina. The establishment owes its name to two pastry chefs from Canavese: Ferdinando Baratti and Edoardo Milano. Soon after its opening, Caffè Baratti & Milano became a meeting place for the intelligentsia and the bourgeoisie. Its success has grown to the level of "official supplier of the Royal House". The current appearance of the restaurant is the result of reconstruction in 1909. The room has a lot of marble, bronze, stucco, gilding and wide mirrors, which give this place a rich artistic appearance. The cafe was damaged during the Second World War, but was restored in 1948. Caffè Baratti & Milano offers its visitors more than 20 types of coffee drinks, tea, light snacks, pastries and sweets.

Cafe Central, Vienna

Location: Herrengasse 14, 1010 Wien, Austria The Central coffee shop is the most popular place in Vienna and is included in all must-see lists in this city. There are always long queues here - people come here to drink delicious coffee, eat strudel, listen to live music and just enjoy the atmosphere. Cafe Central was founded by the Pakhi brothers in 1876. Over time, the establishment became a popular place where cultural representatives loved to come. His regular guests were Egon Friedel, Peter Altenberg, Adolf Loos, Alfred Adler, Leon Trotsky and others. After World War II, Cafe Central closed. In 1975, the Ferstel Palace, where the establishment was located, was completely renovated. After this, the cafe reopened its doors to visitors.

Cafe Sacher Wien, Vienna

Location: Philharmoniker Str. 4, 1010 Wien, Austria Another must-visit place in Vienna is the famous Sacher Wien café. After all, this is where they serve Sachertorte, made according to the classic recipe. In 1876, the Sacher family opened a hotel next to the Vienna Opera, which operated a café. It became a place where it was customary to have dinner before attending the opera - writers, artists and high-ranking officials met here. Today, Cafe Sacher Wien is still very popular, as evidenced by the long queues.

Les Deux Magots, Paris

Where is it: 6 Pl. Saint-Germain des Pres, 75006 Paris, France Les Deux Magots is a famous Parisian cafe located in the luxurious Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter. It opened its doors to visitors in 1884. Originally a novelty store was located here, later coffee liqueurs were sold on this site. By 1914, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was bought by Auguste Boulet for his cafe. His heirs still manage the establishment to this day. Since then, Les Deux Magots has played an important role in the cultural life of the capital - writers, poets, artists and other intellectuals gathered here. Among the guests in the cafe one could meet Pablo Picasso, Bertolt Brecht, Albert Camus. The establishment has been described more than once in literary works and shown in films.

Beginning your classics journey

So you want to begin reading classics, (or older books) but whenever you open the book, you're met by a bunch of words that don't make sense, paragraph-long sentences and weird spellings or expressions. I know the feeling, and some authors are definitely more guilty of this than others are (looking at you Victor Hugo), so here are a few classics that got me started on my own classics journey fairly early on!

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (1890)

I think the beginning of the goodreads summary captures what this book means to be; "the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty." Don't let that fool you, the only devil that appears in this story could be argued to be Dorian Gray himself.

One of my all time favourites, The Picture of Dorian Gray is on the shorter side, though no less impactful. Oscar Wilde's descriptive language is truly beautiful, and the strange narrative keeps you wondering how the novel will end. An overlooked part of this book is the preface, which is, in my opinion, a quite interesting and wise view on art and its use in the world. Though the very beginning of this book is quite wordy, the beauty comes if you bear with it through the first few pages.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (1886)

Another shorter novel, this one follows a london legist as he invistigates a series of mysterious occurances surrounding his friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and the criminal Mr. Edward Hyde. Believed to be one of the defining pieces of literature in the horror genre, I greatly suggest this classic, as it is incredibly intruiging and is still referenced today in media, such as in Marvel's The Hulk. Perhaps that association can elude to the connection between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...? Well, you may figure that one out for yourself.

A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare (1605)

Shakespeare is a man who is famous for his plays and poems, and in my english class for how annoying his iambic pentameter is to write properly. However, this isn't about his poetry, but his comedy that features faeries and ancient greek lovers, which is honestly my all time favourite Shakespeare play. You may know it for its appearance in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society, being the play in which Neil plays Puck.

The play, to quote my dear old friend wikipedia, "consists of five interconnecting plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta", though is most famously known for the lovers' quarrel between Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius and Helena, which can most accurately be explained as the most heinous love square to exist. Hermia loves Lysander though her father insists she marry Demetrius, and Helena loves Demetrius, who is supposed to marry Hermia. It's quite a mess, though a fun one to read, and greatly recommend you do the same.

A Study In Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle (1887)

No classics list is complete without a mandatroy mention of Sherlock Holmes (yes, I consider dear old Sherlock a classic). Any of the Sherlock Holmes stories would be an honourable mention for this short list, but A Study In Scarlet is canonically the first Sherlock Holmes novel, the inspiration for the first episode of BBC's Sherlock, AND also the first piece of classical literature I've ever read, courtesy of my 5th grade English teacher. Thank you Henrik.

Sherlock Holmes is always quite fun, and in this one you are dragged by the heels by Dr. Watson as you follow Holmes around trying to solve the murder of Enoch Drebber. Now, I won't say too much, as this one is pretty well known, but the Doyle novels can be what thrusts you deeper down the well of classical literature.

There you have it, a small list of some novels that can possibly make you need to read some old(er) books, and finally feel intellectualy superior, included in certain conversations or whatever it is you wish to gain by beginning this journey.

Happy reading!

MAISON LOUIS CARRÉ

Arquitecto: Alvar Aalto       

Año de Construcción: 1957-1959               

Área del terreno:  3 ha

Área construida:  450m2

Ubicación: Bazoches-sur-Guyonne, France

 

Biografía del autor

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto nació el 3 de febrero de 1898 en Kuortane, Finlandia y fallece el 11 de mayo de 1976 en Helsinki. Fue un arquitecto y diseñador de muebles y a día de hoy es considerado uno de los más influyentes del siglo xx participando en la evolución de la arquitectura moderna a lo largo de sus 54 años de carrera como arquitecto. Formó parte del Movimiento Moderno y participó en los CIAM (1928-1959)

 

Inició sus estudios de arquitectura en la actual Universidad Politécnica de Helsinki en 1916 hasta 1921 que se graduó. Inició su carrera arquitectónica, completando sus estudios con viajes por el extranjero y trabajando en la oficina de exposiciones de Göteborg.  Durante la década de 1920 estuvo influido por el maestro del funcionalismo, Le Corbusier, y él mismo fue un pionero de este movimiento en Finlandia. En 1923 abre su primer estudio junto con su futura esposa y realizan un primer trabajo ´La Casa de los Trabajadores´ en 1925. Desde 1930 se dio a conocer a nivel mundial, en particular por su trabajo de planeación y reconstrucción de pueblos como Saynatsalo, en épocas de posguerra.

 

Aalto llevó a cabo su propio método de proyectar, en el que primero analizaba los requisitos y condiciones de todos sus proyectos y una vez hecho, los dejaba de lado para bocetar sus propias ideas hasta encontrar aquel dibujo que solucionará todos los condicionantes de partida. La experimentación de sus ideas no terminaba hasta que el proyecto no estaba construido, hasta ello al no considerarlos terminados, en este proceso los proyectos sufrían muchas modificaciones en su ejecución.

A lo largo de su carrera fue reconocido como un humanizador y naturalizador de una arquitectura fría y racionalista, donde los términos centrales en sus obras fueron: naturaleza, hombre y tecnología, donde el paisaje desempeña un papel fundamental en su arquitectura y asegura que los hombres pueden mejorar la calidad de sus hábitats siempre y cuando esté en armonía con la naturaleza, esto es posible a los materiales utilizados en la mayoría de sus obras, la madera y el ladrillo. Para Aalto la arquitectura es un juego libre de volúmenes y formas en movimiento donde el uso de formas geométricas básicas revela el racionalismo funcionalista del que partió. Donde su idea era tratar el interior como una metáfora del paisaje.

 

Descripción de la obra

Este proyecto se ubica en una pequeña ciudad de Bazoches-sur-Guyonne  en la frontera del bosque de Rambouillet, el cual es un paisaje muy rural lleno de vegetación. 

En cuanto al proyecto, el cliente tenía en mente varias necesidades y requerimientos que quería que Aalto cumpliese y que este así lo hizo, ya que logra la unión de la vida familiar y el arte, otorgándole al pasillo principal un doble uso,que servía como punto conector de las tres áreas: espacio público, privado y área de servicios, y a su vez, es una galería de obras de arte; convirtiéndolo en el corazón de la casa con su original cubierta ondulado.

Aalto, decía que la casa se dividía en tres zonas: el espacio público, el privado, y el área de servicios y que cada una de ella tenía sus propias características, los cuales se dividieron así:

Públicos: se encontraban aquellos sitios donde se podían recibir visitas, hacer vista de la exposición, los cuales Aalto consideraba como públicos la entrada, el vestíbulo y pasillo principal, el guardarropa, el salón, la biblioteca y el comedor.

Privados: las habitaciones principales de la casa con sus respectivos baños, separadas de las zonas públicas mediante mamparas.

Áreas de servicio: se ubican en la parte este de la casa a la cual nunca accedían los propios propietarios y son: cocina, cuarto de alacena, comedor de servicio y las habitaciones del personal y sus respectivos baños.

Los materiales empleados son muy diversos para este proyecto, dependen de donde se hayan situado o para qué hayan sido utilizados encontrarás unos u otros, por ejemplo, para el techo, que es uno de los más importantes del proyecto convirtiéndose en un fuerte elemento arquitectónico empleó piedras de ardoise y pizarra. Las fachadas, por el contrario, están hechas de ladrillos delgados para enfatizar la horizontalidad, que, en la parte que une estas fachadas con la cubierta está recubierta con un laminado de cobre para acentuar la diferencia de niveles, los cuales también se utilizan en los antepechos de las ventanas. La casa, también, cuenta con referencias de elementos naturales, como son los canalones de la casa que se asemejan con los troncos de los árboles.Dentro de la casa se emplea roble, cerámico y tipos de muro. En el suelo de la casa se utilizó ladrillo refractario y parquet.

 

Contexto cultural

Luis Carré había comprado 21 tierras de cultivo con la intención de construir ahí una residencia. En primer lugar, pensó confiarle el proyecto a su amigo Le Corbusier, pero tras una conversación con unos amigos artistas estos le recomendaron al arquitecto finlandés Alvar Aalto, el cual podría responder a sus expectativas. 

En 1955 Carré redacta la primera carta hacia el que finalmente será el arquitecto elegido; Alvar Aalto, sin embargo, no será hasta un año más tarde que se inicia el proyecto. Cuando Aalto fue a visitar el emplazamiento de la parcela quedó completamente inspirado tras verla, por su gran pendiente que la hacía especial al igual que sus vistas. Empezaron a reflexionar sobre cómo podría ser el proyecto y los dos coincidieron en que no querían un techo plano ya que uno con pendiente encajaría mejor con el paisaje dando así la única condición y total libertad al arquitecto.  

En la realización de las primeras ideas surgidas Aalto le manda a Carré una media de 600 dibujos a mano alzada y 240 de la parcela, además de unas maquetas a escala. 

La demanda para planear los permisos fue ingresada en diciembre de1956, los planos finales estuvieron listos el año después y la construcción empezó en el otoño de 1957, Elissa Aalto (1922-1994), la segunda esposa del arquitecto, participó activamente en la fase planeadora y estuvo a la altura del proyecto, ella hablaba francés y se quedó a menudo en Francia durante el proceso de construcción, Louis y su tercer esposa Olga Carré se mudaron a su casa en junio de 1959. 

Alvar Aalto también diseñó el jardín de 3 hectáreas la puerta de entrada un garaje y en 1961-63 una piscina climatizada y una piscina para la casa, toldos y mobiliario.
