    Palladian tubs


    After watching for the date so carefully, I then forgot all about this man on the occasion of his 500th birthday on 30 November. Spotted at the exhibition transferring to the Royal Academy in London from Vicenza are bins of Palladian components - so that the kids can create great architecture effortlessly, and in jaunty primary colours. Fortunately the work of the master elsewhere in the show is treated with an appropriate gravitas and intellectual insight. Fantastic models - look out for it in 2009.
