Article source: Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA SERPENTINE GALLERY PAVILION 2009 The Pavilion is floating aluminium, drifting freely between the trees like smoke. The reflective canopy undulates across the site, expanding the park and sky. Its appearance changes according to the weather, allowing it to melt into the surroundings. It works as a field of activity with no walls, allowing views to extend uninterrupted across the park and encouraging access from all sides.  Images Courtesy Iwan Baan
The organic shape of the pavilion, extending in several directions, creates areas of varying character. The line of the roof is drawn around an event space, a cafe, a music area and rest space. It is a sheltered extension of the park where people can read, relax and enjoy lovely summer days. The 26 mm aluminium roof rests lightly on the columns, 50 mm in diameter, distributed randomly through the park. Curved acrylic partitions provide transparent shelter, creating comfortable environments for evening events and gently distorting the view of the park.
