Karel Martens Unbound at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam

One of the most intelligent and beautiful design/art exhibitions I've ever seen.

Until 26 October: inderdaad, onmisbaar!

This painting of a stitched section ('Circular') looks incidentally like a demonstration of paper grain: long grain (good!) on the left page, short/cross grain (not so good) on the right page.

Alison Watt's new paintings on display at John Soane's Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing, London W5 – to which they partly respond.

Worth a long detour.

The Dutch architectural journal Oase 119 is just out:

'rationalism reviewed / rationalisme herzien'

cover material is grey card, printed in black and white(!?)
seems to use a 4 mm grid

'The unknown Alvar Aalto and the destiny of built form':

Kenneth Frampton's subject last night at the RIBA in London

His essential themes sharply expressed in a riveting talk: tectonics, materials, structure, joints; regionalism (Finland/Portugal); modernity

And just past his 94th birthday!
