Play With a Parametric Version of BIG's Serpentine Pavilion in this Model
Every year the Serpentine Gallery commissions an Architect to design a pavilion which will sit on its lawn, greeting the hundreds of thousands of people who will visit over the summer months. Unless you’re in London, you may not get the opportunity to visit the pavilion physically, but thanks to the web you can go there virtually.

Every year the Serpentine Gallery commissions an Architect to design a pavilion which will sit on its lawn, greeting the hundreds of thousands of people who will visit over the summer months.
Temporary pavilions like this are an important chance for architects to test new ideas, and to communicate to the public what architecture is and could be.
Unless you’re in London, you may not get the opportunity to visit the pavilion physically, but thanks to the web you can go there virtually.
This year’s Serpentine pavilion, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, is a complex sculptural form that can be constructed using simple geometric rules.
In detail, the repeated brick geometry embodies the playful spirit of Lego and Minecraft. As a whole, the structure fits together with the calculation and precision of an algorithm.
