Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013. Sou Fujimoto

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013, which will open on 8 June, will be designed by multi award-winning Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.

He is the thirteenth and, at 41, youngest architect to accept the invitation to design a temporary structure for the Serpentine Gallery. The most ambitious architectural programme of its kind worldwide, the Serpentine’s annual Pavilion commission is one of the most anticipated events on the cultural calendar. Past Pavilions have included designs by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei (2012), Frank Gehry (2008), the late Oscar Niemeyer (2003) and Zaha Hadid, who designed the inaugural structure in 2000.
