We are delighted to be part of this year’s 16th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale 2018. The exhibition, titled ‘Freespace’, is being curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara and will run from 26th May to 25th November 2018.
Architecture critic Rowan Moore has written a review of the Bishop Edward King Chapel with the title “The Answers to their Prayers” that was published in the Observer Magazine. The article touches on the broader themes of the interpretation and appropriation of religious symbolism in architecture, and in this context praises the paradoxical nature of the chapel; “It is…heavy and light, a bastion and a boat, a wall and a drape. It has presence, but doesn’t dominate.” Describing the form and materiality of the building Moore writes, “The building is crafted and considered: it makes ideas physical: it has intentions and carries them out in its space and matter.”
