Thank you to The Gentle Author for this map of a tour of the real history of Spitalfields including pioneering women designers such as Anna-Maria Garthwaite in textiles and Louisa Courtauld, one of the first female silversmiths.

Gunta Stölzl - 4. When a picture says more than words. Gunta Stölzl was appointed “master" of the Bauhaus weaving workshop in 1926. Here she is on the roof of the new Bauhaus Dessau in a commemorative photo for its opening with her all-male colleagues.

Ljubljana. What a treat to visit the National Library designed by Jože Plečnik from 1930 to 1931 as a Gesamtkunstwerk, obsessing over the horse's head door handles, the ancient fossils embedded in the grey Podpeč marble and the Reading Room railings made from plumbing pipes.

Marianne Brandt - 4. Like many Bauhaus students, Brandt was fascinated by photography and while spending several months in Paris in 1926, she experimented with a new medium, photo collage, to explore her political concerns.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading Elizabeth Otto's new book, Haunted Bauhaus. The Gertrud Arndt self-portrait on the cover sums it up, and the subtitle: Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics.

Paul Rand | 4. After redesigning IBM's visual identity Rand wrote extensive rules to specify how it should be implemented. IBM applied them so strictly that Rand's playful Eye, Bee and M version was initially banned on the grounds that it broke his rules.

Cambridge. Kettle's Yard was one of my favourite places in Cambridge as a student. It is such a pleasure to return and see Jim and Helen Ede's wonderful house so sensitively restored by Jamie Fobert - down to the pebbles and light switches - and packed with people.
