Only a few people are aware of the fact that Gerrit Rietveld has created over 100 buildings in the Netherlands besides the well-known Rietveld Schröder House. The buildings and houses that still exist are now traceable with the location-aware Rietveld Architecture iPhone application.
On the 24th of June, passers-by of the Rietveld Schröder House were treated to Rietveld currant buns. With the handing over of the Rietveld Magazine from Centraal Museum director Edwin Jacobs to Frits Lintmeijer, alderman for culture, the Rietveld Year has officially been opened!
