Title on disc label: Frank Gehry and Alvar Aalto : ideas and influences |
| Abstract |
"Celebrated architect Frank Gehry lives and works in Los Angeles- a world away from Finland, where his idol, the late Alvar Aalto, created stunning additions to the urban landscape and helped originate Scandinavian modernism. This film studies parallels between the two creative giants, examining their respective styles and documenting an in-depth conversation about Aalto between Gehry and architect Juhani Pallasmaa. Several works are discussed, including Aalto's Saynatsalo Town Hall and National Pension Institution, and Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall. Commentary from L.A. Philharmonic conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen further illuminates Gehry's ideas"--Container. |
