Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008
A gloriously sunny morning today saw the opening of Frank Gehry’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion for 2008. This magnificent structure hosts a space that invites you to sit and enjoy harmonious ambience of light and sound, or to amble and explore every level and angle of the design.
At an impressive height of 16 meters and footprint of 526 sq m, the pavilion is compared to an amphitheatre, for which it has been intended. As you walk through the pavilion, you find tiered seating either side of the central walkway allowing for audiences during the evening entertainment, Park Nights. >>>
The building is conceived as a city in the sky, a 12 storey multi-use high-rise with 337 flats, and a number of shops, offices, hotel, school, club, and a roof garden that reclaims the land footprint.
