Exhibition: RIBA forgotten Spaces
Content: An exhibition displaying 28 shortlisted schemes for RIBA’s Forgotten Spaces London competition. Entrants included professionals from a design background as well as people from neighbourhood communities.
The work displayed included two A1 sheets: one containing site analysis of the forgotten space and, one outlining the design principles. Some design work also contained models either working or to scale.

Thoughts: It was interesting just walking round the lower level of Somerset House; seeing something you normally wouldn’t be given access to. There was some nice model work in the latter stages of the exhibition.
Gallery: Courtauld Gallery
Exhibition: Permanent Collection & Wyndham Lewis
Content: The gallery housed a collection of paintings & artefacts ranging from the renaissance period to impressionism & post-impressionism.
Thoughts: I was impressed by the sort of art on display. I wasn’t really expecting well known paintings.
The room showcasing Wyndham Lewis’ work was fantastic to look at. I liked his use of colour and the way he captured light.

Exhibition: The Spanish Line: Drawings from Ribera to Picasso
Content: A collection of sketches, preparatory and complete from Spain during the 16th-20th Century
Thoughts: I thought the simple framing style helped to focus attention on the detailing in the sketches and drawings. It was amazing just how beautifully detailed some of them were. I was definitely getting a case of sketch envy.
