5 New Architecture & Design Exhibitions for September 2019
...Das Bauhaus in Berlin-Steglitz 1932-1933 opens at the Siemens-Villa, MSB Medical School Berlin, Calandrellistraße 1-9, 12247 Berlin on Wednesday September 4th and runs until Friday December 20th "Alvar Aalto’s Refined Landscapes" at the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Helsinki, Finland Whereas Alvar Aalto's work is often quoted in relation to nature, the nature in Aalto's work is often ignored... With the exhibition Alvar Aalto’s Refined Landscapes the Museum of Finnish Architecture aim to rectify that through foci not only on Aalto's interest in and inspiration from both natural landscapes and also cultivated gardens, be they from traditional Islamic or Japanese cultures or indeed his own contemporary Finland, but also how he integrated his buildings into their surrounding landscape, how he, as the museum note, "felt that architecture should be like a final touch added to an otherwise finished picture"...
