Diébédo Francis Kéré's Serpentine Pavilion Opens in Sun-Drenched London ? But Will Come Alive When It Rains
The 2017 Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Diébédo Francis Kéré (Kéré Architecture), was unveiled today in London. Conceived as a micro cosmos?"a community structure within Kensington Gardens"?the pavilion has been designed to consciously fuse cultural references from Kéré's home town of Gando in Burkino Faso, with "experimental construction techniques." The architect hopes that the pavilion, as a social condenser, "will become a beacon of light, a symbol of storytelling and togetherness."
