Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion 2007
The Serpentine Gallery’s Summer Pavilion for 2007 recently opened, so yesterday I went along to check out the ‘spinning top’. Designed by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and Norwegian architect Kjetil Thorsen the structure is an awesome dynamic timber clad building. A wide spiralling gradual ramp leads you twice up and around the pavilion to a small platform at the top with a view across Kensington Gardens and down into the seating area of the pavilion. Open till November this year’s summer pavilion is a great temporary addition to London’s architectural landscape and a must-see.
