Summary:
This singular work is one of the most outstanding buildings of the last decade in the oeuvre of Álvaro Siza, Pritzker Prize recipient in 1992. On a high plain by the river in the Roman city of Chaves, deep in the interior of his home country, Siza has built the Nadir Afonso Museum. Blending the modernity of elevation of the ground (and above the river’s flood plain) and a vernacular indented plan, the building reveals the exceptional mastery of this architect and the very condition of contemporary architecture.

Summary:
Anja Kirschner's drawings present a series of plans for a future film set, dealing with the legendary 18th century criminal Jack Sheppard and his inferred relationship with Daniel Defoe, thought to have been the ghost writer of his 'autobiography'.

Anja Kirschner was born in 1977 in Munich, Germany and lives and works in London.
