Jean Nouvel's Serpentine Pavilion




So here is the new pavilion at the Serpentine in Hyde Park. For those of you who aren't familiar with the project, the gallery installs a new pavilion once a year. The previous two years have seen incredible designs by Gehry and SANAA.

Nouvel's bright red structure (reminiscent of his contributions to Parc de la Villette in Paris)is complete with ping pong tables. On the afternoon I visited it, the sight of business men playing ping pong after work in their suits was quite enjoyable.
