Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006 July-october 2006

This year’s Serpentine Pavilion is co-designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas and innovative structural designer Cecil Balmond.

The centrepiece of the design is a spectacular ovoid-shaped inflatable canopy that will float above the Gallery’s lawn. Made from translucent material, the structure will be illuminated from within at night. The canopy will be raised into the air or lowered to cover the amphitheatre below according to the weather.

The walled enclosure below the canopy will be used as a café and forum for daily televised and recorded public programmes including live talks and film screenings. The highlights will include two 16-hour events, bringing together leading artists, writers and thinkers to map the culture of London. This series of events will be a collaboration between Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

A major exhibition of works by the German artist, Thomas Demand, will be on show at the Serpentine during this period. Demand is developing work to be included in the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006.

Rem Koolhaas said: “The 2006 Serpentine Pavilion will be defined by events and activities. We are proposing a space that facilitates the inclusion of individuals in communal dialogue and shared experience.”

Cecil Balmond said: “These Pavilions have evolved with various structural typologies and materials, provoking a debate on architecture; this year the exploration continues not only with typology and material but with the very definition of Pavilion”.
