1801. Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, Finland

Querida Sara,

Este famoso museo en Helsinki fue ideado originalmente
como fruto de dos fuerzas convergentes en su emplazamiento:
la "línea cultural" que lo curva hacia el magnífico Palacio de
Conciertos llamado Finlandia Hall, y la "línea natural" que lo
desvía hacia el paisaje del fondo y la Bahía de Töölö. El
resultado es un edificio espectacular y luminoso.

Paralelismos entre espacio y vida.

713. Deutsche Bauausstellung, Berlin 1931

Dear Matilda,

Lilly Reich, the co-designer with Mies van der Rohe of
the Barcelona Chair, was also artistic co-director of the
1931 exhibition Die Wohnung Unserer Zeit (The Dwelling
in Our Time). The two buildings in the background center
of the image of this contemporary postcard were designed,
one by Mies ven der Rohe and the other by Lilly Reich,
sharing both a long and meaningful connecting wall.

Best regards.
R
