Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 15. 06 – 30. 08. 2010.

The V&A commissioned a group of international architects to build a series of structures throughout the Museum which responded to the theme of the ‘retreat’. The starting point for these experimental projects was the idea of a small enclosed space representing an escape from the chaos of urban life to an area for peace, contemplation, shelter or creativity. One of the central aims of the exhibition was to move away from explaining architecture through drawings and models and instead allow the visitor to experience the architecture itself.
