Publisher's Synopsis
Ishigami's design takes inspiration from roofs, the most common architectural feature used around the world.The design of the 2019 Serpentine Pavilion is made by arranging slates to create a single canopy roof that appears to emerge from the ground of the surrounding park.Within, the interior of the Pavilion is an enclosed cave-like space, a refuge for contemplation.For Ishigami, the Pavilion articulates his 'free space' philosophy in which he seeks harmony between man-made structures and those that already exist in nature.Serpentine Pavilion - 21 Jun 2019 to 6 Oct 2019
