The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013 is designed by multi award-winning Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto (born 1971)--the thirteenth and, at 41, youngest architect to accept the invitation to design a temporary structure for the Serpentine Gallery. The most ambitious architectural program of its kind worldwide, the Serpentine's past pavilions have included designs by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei (2012), Frank Gehry (2008), the late Oscar Niemeyer (2003) and Zaha Hadid. Inspired by organic structures, such as the forest, the nest and the cave, Fujimoto's signature buildings inhabit a space between nature and artificiality. Fujimoto's pavilion is a delicate, latticed structure of steel poles, lightweight and semi-transparent in appearance, that allows it to blend, cloud-like, into the landscape and against the classical backdrop of the Gallery's colonnaded East wing. It is designed as a flexible, multi-purpose social space. This volume documents the project.
