This article is definitely worth a read, and some stunning stills from Murray Grigors film 'Space and Light Revisited'

and a wee pic from the discussion in Venice. . .
The Velvet and Silk Café was a series of exhibitions created by Mies Van Der Rohe and Lilly Reich in the 1920’s, to share modernist design with the general public: to create interest and excitement for this new ethos within each city in which they exhibited. The first of the series was held in Berlin in 1927. Taking inspiration from Mies and Lilly, The Velvet and Silk Cafe is organising a series of presentations by and for architects and designers based in Glasgow.

An Interesting First Night!
The first Velvet and Silk Cafe evening was held on Thursday the 20th of January and was a great night!! Thank you to Gordon Murray for allowing us to host the night in their office and to the speakers: Alistair McAuley of Timorous Beasties, Alan Pert of NORD, Robin Webster of Cameron Webster Architects, Michael Dougall of Collective Architecture, Brian Proudfoot of GOODD and John Barr of John Barr Architects who all gave great presentations! And thank you to everyone who turned up to support us on the first night, it made for a great social evening as well as giving some of us the motivation to revisit a sketchbook after some time!
Thanks Again!
Thanks Again!
