The Serpentine Pavilion was launched at the end of June this summer, and it is the work of José Selgas and Lucía Cano, known as selgascano. They started up in Madrid, Spain in 1998. The pair have worked on a lot of other pieces worldwide and have won awards. The Serpentine Pavilion is the most recently piece and is located in front of the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park.
The architecture of the building contains different angles, colours, and materials. It changes colour depending on where the viewer focuses, and it also changes colour depending on different lighting at different times of the day.
Fortnum & Mason, the department store, have set up a cafe and an ice cream shop inside the Pavilion. The cafe serves afternoon tea and sandwiches.
A small ice cream shop also sells ice cream from Fortnum & Mason.
Visitors can walk around the Pavilion and inside and outside, examining the architecture and the different colours cast by the lighting.
The Serpentine Pavilion is open until October 13 next to the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park. The cafe is open until 18:00 in the evening. The Pavilion is also open in the evening for events and also hosts events at other times.
