I saw the Macintosh Lecture by Andrew Macmillan former head of the Glasgow School of Art yesterday, who made a good case for Rennie Macintosh being one of the instigators of many of the elements of the modern movement. His architecture is individualistic, fascinating and at times wonderful, however I think he represents the end of more things than the start of them. Corbusiers Machines for Living would soon sweep away most of Macintoshs aesthetics. Murray Grigors film on Macintosh was then shown. I also met Georg for the first time, we are now both about to start reading some Finnish Literature, Georg in German and me in English translation, how much of the original flavour of these books will we loose? We really need a native Finnish speaker to step up and join in too.
