The V&A is commissioning a group of international architects to build a series of structures throughout the Museum which will respond to the theme of the ‘retreat’. The starting point for these experimental projects will be 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 is to move away from explaining architecture through drawings and models and instead allow the visitor to experience the architecture itself.
