On its completion in 1935, Alvar Aalto s library in Vyborg was regarded as one of the most significant functionalist buildings of its time. The restoration of the library, which had been in a state of neglect for a long time, began in 1994 and was completed in 2013. The restoration work has since received several awards for the exceptionally high-quality result and the laudable international cooperation. 'Alvar Aalto Library in Vyborg Saving a Modern Masterpiece, Part 2 'takes off from where the previous book ended and presents in detail, through texts, photos and drawings, the individual renovation projects that were completed in 2010-2013: the lecture hall, the lending and reading halls, the children s library, the main entrance and lobby, the basement floors, the book storage and technical systems as well as the external walls and roofs.'.
Arkkitehti Alvar Aallon Viipurin kirjasto oli valmistuessaan vuonna 1935 aikansa merkittävimpiä funktionalistisia rakennuksia. Pitkään rappiolla olleen kirjaston vuonna 1994 aloitettu restaurointityö valmistui 2013; se on palkittu poikkeuksellisen laadukkaasta lopputuloksesta ja ansiokkaasta kansainvälisestä yhteistyöstä useilla palkinnoilla. Tämä kirja jatkaa siitä, mihin edellinen osa jäi ja esittelee yksityiskohtaisesti tekstein, valokuvin ja piirustuksin vuosina 2010-2013 valmistuneet korjausprojektit: luentosalin, lainaus- ja lukusalit, lasten kirjaston, pääsisäänkäynnin ja aulan, kellarikerrokset, kirjavaraston ja tekniset järjestelmät sekä ulkoseinät ja katon. Näkökulma on nykyhetkessä, vasta restauroidussa kirjastorakennuksessa, sen puhtaan valkoisissa pinnoissa, sisäänkäynnin pehmeänharmaassa vuolukivijulkisivussa, ikkunoiden, ovien ja portaikkojen viimeistellyissä yksityiskohdissa. Tätä kirjaa varten otetut kauniit valokuvat näyttävät Aallon mestariteoksen uudessa loistossaan. Englanninkielinen.
