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. 1:1 ARCHITECTS BUILD SMALL SPACES.
