"We sought a way to allow the public to experience architecture through simple elements: structure, light, transparency, shadows, lightness, form, sensitivity, change, surprise, color and materials," explain principal architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano. The junction of all these elements is an airy structure made from transluscent woven synthetics not often used in architecture, but which the designers hope will embody the themes of both "Garden" and "London."The duo's past work, displayed at the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, Venice Biennale, among other locales, will inform the structure's bright Spanish aesthetic as it hosts the 15th anniversary of the first Serpentine Pavilion, which was designed by Zaha Hadid in 2000.
