The news is horrifying right now so let's talk about something nice. Yesterday I visited the Alvar Aalto Museum in Jyvaskyla, Finland, and found it utterly captivating. Here's Alvar with his second wife, Elissa (image courtesy of Christian Leclerc). In 1957, Aalto said:

'...a society based on representation and clearly marked class divisions is a thing of the past, as is the human dwelling based on it.'

If only. But I like his optimism.
