Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006 in London, UK by Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, with ArupTuesday, August 9th, 2011Article source: Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, with Arup The Serpentine Pavilion 2006 was co-designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas and innovative structural designer Cecil Balmond. The centrepiece of the design was a spectacular ovoid-shaped inflatable canopy that floated above the Gallery’s lawn. Made from translucent material, the canopy was raised into the air or lowered to cover the amphitheatre below according to the weather. A frieze designed by Thomas Demand marked the first collaboration between an artist and the designers of the Pavilion.
