JEAN NOUVEL – SERPENTINE GALLERY PAVILION 2010
2010-07-19Nouvel’s offering is the 10th in the annual commission by the gallery. Noted as one of the most ambitious architectural programs world wide, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion will be Nouvel’s first completed building in the United Kingdom. In vivid red, the pavilion reflects some of London’s most iconic objects, buses, telephone booths, and contrasts with the lush greens of Hyde Park.
In structure, the pavilion is an exercise in juxtaposing lightweight materials with a metal cantilever that creates bold geometric shapes.
The building will be up and in use through October.
