	They decided to work with one of the most basic architectural elements: the brick wall. Rather than clay bricks or stone blocks, the wall is erected from pultruded fibreglass frames stacked on top of each other. The wall is then pulled apart to form a cavity within it, giving a cavernous appearance. At the top, the wall appears like a straight line, while the bottom, it forms a sheltered valley at the entrance of the Pavilion and an undulating hillside towards the Park.

On 8 June 2016, the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park revealed their 16th annual Pavilion.

The Serpentine Pavilion, designed by the Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), is a wall that is transformed from straight line to three-dimensional space, creating a dramatic structure that has the appearance of having been ‘unzipped’.

BIG attempted to design a structure that would embody multiple aspects which are often perceived as opposites. They wanted a structure that would be free-form yet rigorous, modular yet sculptural, both transparent and opaque, both solid box and blob.

They decided to work with one of the most basic architectural elements: the brick wall. Rather than clay bricks or stone blocks, the wall is erected from pultruded fibreglass frames stacked on top of each other. The wall is then pulled apart to form a cavity within it, giving a cavernous appearance. At the top, the wall appears like a straight line, while the bottom, it forms a sheltered valley at the entrance of the Pavilion and an undulating hillside towards the Park.

By ‘unzipping’ the wall it turns the line into a surface, which transforms the wall into a space. This space is a complex three-dimensional environment which can be explored and experienced in a variety of ways, inside and outside.

During the day the structure will accommodate a café and free family activities, while at night it will become a space for the Serpentine’s Park Nights programme of performative works by artists, writers and musicians.

Serpentine Galleries Director, Julia Peyton-Jones, and Co-Director, Hans Ulrich Obrist, said:

“We are delighted to reveal the designs for our expanded Architecture Programme. As you can see from the architect’s renders, Bjarke Ingels has responded to the brief for a multi-purpose Pavilion with a supremely elegant structure that is both curvaceous wall and soaring spire, that will surely serve as a beacon - drawing visitors across Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens to visit the Pavilion. “

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2016 opens to the public on 10 June and will stay open throughout the summer until 9 October 2016.

Like previous pavilions, the structure will be sold and rebuilt in another location after it's been taken down in London.
