The Aalto Archive houses 110,000 drawings and images. That is a huge collection and represents a prolific output.
For the Villa Mairea project alone there are over 900 drawings that represent intense speculations upon a single project. Here is an object lesson for all students of architecture (at what ever age - or career point); the building is not designed 'because I have drawn it'-that drawing is the first of many within a dense, iterative and speculative journey of exploring opportunities and potentials.
The curatorial team have been cataloguing and scanning for 11 years and to date 65% of the work is scanned and archived.
