A gawky assembly of glass, steel and timber was unveiled this week by Californian celebrity architect Frank Gehry for his first building in England.
It is the ninth in a series of temporary pavilions erected next to the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens. Gehry has named disparate design influences: a giant catapult conceived by Leonardo da Vinci, garden parties and a flock of butterflies.
The pavilion, to be opened next week is being built by Taylor Woodrow, with Arup as structural engineer, Stanhope as construction adviser, Savant as project manager and Davis Langdon as quantity surveyor.
