Serpentine Pavilion by Sou Fujimoto Opens in Hyde Park
Inaugural Unveiling Draws Public Curiosity
Amidst the sprawling greenery of Hyde Park in London, the highly anticipated Serpentine Pavilion designed by renowned Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto opened its doors to the public on Thursday. Marking the 13th installment of this annual architectural showcase, Fujimoto's creation has garnered widespread attention and admiration.
Fujimoto's Vision: A Geometry of Light
In a video captured by Dezeen at the grand unveiling, Fujimoto himself elucidates the inspiration behind his design. Leveraging a rigid geometric framework, he sought to create a structure that would harness and manipulate natural light. By using translucent materials, he aimed to form an ethereal, lattice-like form that transforms throughout the day.
The pavilion's delicate structure stands as a testament to Fujimoto's meticulous attention to detail. Its unique form and interactive design invite visitors to explore and engage with its play of light and shadow.
