serpentine pavilion 2013

On any spare evening this summer, head down through Hyde Park to Kensington Gardens, where you will discover this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion. It's always exciting to see what the new pavilion is like, and this year is no exception! 
A few friends and I gathered there to pass the evening and I noticed a vibrant atmosphere surrounding the place. Designed by Sou Fujimoto, the pavilion appears like a cloud floating above the grass; its appearance achieved through a composition of steel grids. Fujimoto, who cites organic structures as an inspiration, demonstrates here the fundamental principles of nature's design, whose geometrical patterns make up all organic things. The structure itself invites people to sit, climb and interact with it as well as one another. Its transparency causes it to become part of the landscape of the park, encouraging exploration and enchantment. It's worth checking out - it'll be around until late October!
