Munksnäs-Haga och Stor-Helsingfors. Stadsplannsstudier och Förslag. Helsinki. SAARINEN Eliel [25388]

Munksnäs-Haga och Stor-Helsingfors.

Published: Helsingfors,
Date: 1915.
Description: viii, 164pp including illustrations plus 10 folding, coloured town plans and maps. Boards, cloth spine. 32x25. Corners a little bumped and bottom edge a bit rubbed, but a good copy.
Notes: Saarinen's famous scheme for Munksnäs-Haga - in essence a plan to extend Helsinki by means of a satellite town. This was Saarinen’s most ambitious town planning project. As well as a carefully drawn plan, it contains a very detailed study of townscape with birds-eye view and models and designs for a variety of buildings. Unfortunately, changes in the economy meant only small parts were actually built. This harback version is even scarcer than the wraps one normally found.
