Serpentine Pavilion
2000-present
The Serpentine Pavilion has been commissioned every summer since 2000 by the Serpentine Galleries in London's Kensington Gardens as a temporary, walkable architectural work on the gallery's lawn, built by a major international architect who has not yet completed a permanent structure in Britain. Zaha Hadid inaugurated the series in 2000; later Pritzker laureates including Frank Gehry, SANAA, Frei Otto's studio, and Herzog & de Meuron have followed. The Korean architect Minsuk Cho of Mass Studies designed the 2024 pavilion. Each season's structure is afterward dismantled and resold, continuing a global conversation about contemporary architecture that has become the Serpentine's signature project.
