Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008, designed by Frank Gehry

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008 gives England the first built project by legendary architect Frank Gehry. Watch a time-lapse film of the Pavilion's construction. The spectacular structure -- designed and engineered in collaboration with Arup -- is anchored by four massive steel columns and is comprised of large timber planks and a complex network of overlapping glass planes that create a dramatic, multi-dimensional space. Gehry and his team took inspiration for this year's Pavilion from a fascinating variety of sources including the elaborate wooden catapults designed by Leonardo da Vinci as well as the striped walls of summer beach huts. Part-amphitheatre, part-promenade, these seemingly random elements make a transformative place for reflection and relaxation by day, and discussion and performance by night.
