Peter Reed, associate curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, has edited this exhibition catalog for the exhibition of the same title (February 19 to May 19, 1998). Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), the subject of the exhibition and this accompanying catalog, is perhaps one of the most overlooked modern architects. In his work, Mr. Aalto sought to maintain both his Finnish heritage and native landscape, while infusing it with a modern sensibility. The title of the exhibition and catalog refers to his interest in dualities and opposites; he was especially adept at combining diverse qualities in one project. The exhibition includes examples of his well-known laminated wood furniture and the famous Savoy Vase of 1936, as well as project drawings and videotapes of actual building interiors.

How to Grow Fresh Air

In research designed to create a breathable environment for a NASA lunar habitat noted scientist Dr. B. C. Wolverton discovered that houseplants are the best filters of common pollutants such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene. Hundreds of these poisonous chemicals can be released by furniture, carpets, and building material, and then trapped by closed ventilation systems, leading to the host of respiratory and allergic reactions now called Sick Building Syndrome. In this full-color, easy-to-follow guide, Dr. Wolverton shows you how to grow and nurture 50 plants as accessible and trouble-free as the tulip and the Boston fern, and includes many beautiful but commonly found varieties not generally thought of as indoor plants. He also rates each plant for its effectiveness in removing various pollutants, and its ease of growth and maintenance.
