Diverse interpretations of a space. The Serpentine Pavilions range from ornate intricacy to bold simplicity.

The annual summer pavilion at London’s Serpentine Gallery is an established highlight of both the London art scene and the global architectural calendar. The commission provides a showcase for contemporary architecture and for the last 19 years has presented a series of uniquely varied and diverse structures.
