Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2014
Each summer the Serpentine Gallery commissions an architect with no previous work in the UK to design a tea pavilion. In 2014 the architect is the Chilean Smiljan Radić. The pavilion is a thin doughnut of translucent fibreglass supported on massive rocks. Inside is a cafe counter, tables and chairs. Earth ramps provide entry to the pavilion, through jagged apertures in the shell.
[edit March 2023] This pavilion has been installed at the Hauser & Wirth art gallery in Bruton, Somerset, according to a comment in The Times.
