British Pavilion
Venice Architecture Biennale
2004
 
One of nine studios whose work was showcased in the British Pavilion of the 2004 Venice Architecture Biennale, the office elected to exhibit a single project, the new Cistercian monastery of Novy Dvur. The opening ceremonies in Venice fell exactly one week after celebrations in Bohemia, presided over by the Bishop of Pilsen, marking the consecration of the monastery’s church.
