Serpentine Pavillion, designed by Smiljan Radic
The Pavillion is describted in the Serpentine website like this:
Architect's statement:"The Serpentine Pavilion 2014 continues a history of small romantic constructions seen in parks or large gardens [...] The unusual shape and sensual qualities of the Pavilion have a strong physical impact on the visitor, especially juxtaposed with the classical architecture of the Serpentine Gallery. From the outside, visitors see a fragile shell in the shape of a hoop suspended on large quarry stones. [...] The shell, which is white, translucent and made of fibreglass, contains an interior that is organised around an empty patio at ground level, creating the sensation that the entire volume is floating. [...] The floor is grey wooden decking, as if the interior were a terrace rather than a protected interior space.
- Smiljan RadićI really love this structures, especially for the use of the fibreglass (usually used for boat). The interior looks like a giant flower or a Oyster mushroom. The outside remember me a strange, broken egg.
For my draw of the structure I use the Stabilo pen (0.4), but I don't find the exact color of the fiberglass, so it looks much more yellow than the original.
