The designs for London’s Serpentine Gallery unveiled

Frank Gehry’s designs for London’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008 have been unveiled this week. The multi-dimensional space, comprising large timber planks and multiple glass planes, has been designed and engineered in collaboration with Arup. A wooden timber structure that acts as an urban street running from the path to the gallery, the pavilion is designed to be part amphitheatre, part promenade, making a place for ‘reflection and relaxation by day, and discussion and performance by night’, according to Gehry.
