Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013

This year the temporary tea pavilion was designed by 41 year old Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. It is a structure of white steel rods forming cubes. The "roof" is a set of circular transparent disks set inside the cubic lattice - presumably they overlap so that rain does not fall through. [Edit: after some rainy days - apparently the rain does drip through and the staff told me they use umbrellas inside.] There are glass steps, platforms and seats such that visitors can climb up onto the structure inside or outside. Although it looks like a climbing frame, children are dissuaded from climbing where there are no platforms.
