Brief :  In response to the theme of the Venice Biennale 2004, "Metamorph", Ireland's Pavilion was itself transformative of an ongoing project for the phased redevelopment of the former Industrial School and its eventual incorporation within a community-generated campus at Letterfrack: the transformation of an institution.

The installation in the Arsenale was intended to tell the story of the past, present and projected future of the site. The exhibition focused in on the architecture of the new Furniture College and provided an overview of the history, culture and landscape of Connemara West.
