This project is in reference to the 2025 Serpentine Pavilion by Marina Tabassum

“Inspired by summer park-going and arched garden canopies that filter soft daylight through green foliage, the structure is comprised of four wooden sculptural forms with a translucent façade that diffuses and dapples light when it enters the space. Integral to Tabassum’s design is a kinetic element where one of the capsule forms is able to move, connect and transform the Pavilion into a new space.”

The color and quality of the glass creates a sense of warmth while responding to the changes of light

The glass lets some light in to create a glowing and changing dapple, while maintaining a barrier between the visitor and their surroundings

The structure is simple vertical ribs which join together faceted glass and articulate passage through and respite within the pavilion

Our structure is simple horizontal datums which articulate the separation between public and private programs.
The grasshopper script to create this adaptation is a relatively straightforward manipulation of any base curve (in this case, a Barcelona corner).
