Join Alexa Chow, Project Curator, for an exclusive tour of the Serpentine Pavilion 2024. She will discuss how this year's architect Minsuk Cho explored the history of the commission to develop his design and reimagine the shape and use of the space.
This event is free and exclusively for London Festival of Architecture audiences. Join us to learn more about this year's architecture commission and enjoy a hot drink in the Pavilion tea house. Doors open 9am, tour begins 9.15am.
Since 2000, Serpentine has invited internationally renowned and emerging architects to create their first completed structure in England. The Pavilion commission is an unmissable opportunity to experience the latest in architectural experimentation.
Tracing the history of past Serpentine Pavilions, Minsuk Cho observed that they often emerge as a singular structure situated at the centre of the Serpentine South lawn. To explore new possibilities and previously untold spatial narratives, Cho approaches the centre as an open space. The 23rd Serpentine Pavilion envisions a unique void characterised by a constellation of smaller, adaptable structures strategically positioned at the periphery of the lawn, intertwining with its natural ecology and temporal conditions.
