Went to see the Mies van der Rohe thing at RIBA.
In the early 60s van der Rohe designed a tower which would have been his first (and only) building in London. Prince Charles complained about it at a fancy dinner and they built this pink thing that is designed to look like a chicken instead. Can't imagine the Prince was any happier about that.
The exhibition tells that story. That's not a bad idea for an exhibition.
Here are some pictures.
On the way out we were asked to fill in a survey about the exhibition. My companion put, "Too dark. Too small." He was right.
