'Through the Eyes of Shigeru Ban' - The Barbican

'Through the Eyes of Shigeru Ban' is an exhibition at The Barbican, curated by Shigeru Ban, looking at the work of the Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto, who designed not just buildings, but interiors, including glassware, fittings, and textiles.

Alvar Aalto is heralded as one of the masters of modernism, and the title is a fitting one. The exhibition features photographs, drawings, models and artefacts from 14 of Alvar Aalto's key projects. The work itself is fascinating; Aalto's designs fluid and unique.
'Through the Eyes of Shigeru Ban' is running from 22 February - 13 May
