Colourful craftsmanship
London's Serpentine Pavilion is nothing short of ogle-worthy.
We love us some colour – especially in the summer – and this year’s Serpentine Galleries’ Pavilion commission certainly delivers.
The 15th year of the annual pavilion in London, which showcases architectural experimentation, was designed by Spanish architects Selgascano, and as Curbed points out, quite “Instagram-friendly.”
The pavilion is conceived of translucent, fluorine-based polymer panels, has multiple points of entry and even a secret corridor between its inner and outer layer.
The inspiration? Both the site and how folks traverse through London, “notably the London Underground with its many-layered, chaotic yet structured flow,” according to a release.
If only the Tube could be half as pretty to look at.
