Odile Decq (* 1955, Laval, France) is an internationally recognized and frequently awarded French architect, urban planner, and academic educator. She advocates an unyielding position in the search for solutions. Her early work received the Golden Lion award at the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 1996. The originality of her work encompasses not only a remarkable creative handwriting, innovative positions, and an unrelenting search process. Odile Decq's work can be described as the materialization of a universal space that includes urban planning, architecture, design, and art. Her multidisciplinary approach was, among other recognitions, awarded the Jane Drew Prize in 2016 and in 2017 she received the very prestigious international award Architizer’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
In its Czech premiere as part of the exhibition Horizons, it thoughtfully presents nine projects in an indescribable, non-chronological way. It radically summarizes their concepts and transposes them into a visual journey through spatial experiences ranging from the transforming landscape of the National Geopark Tchang-šan to the fleeting plastic forms of Phantom. Each building, each project is a new adventure where boundaries must be pushed to extremes, beyond Horizons that cannot be reached.
