It is hard not to smile when greeted with this year's Serpentine Pavilion. Sprawled out across the Serpentine Galleries lawn in London's Kensington Gardens, it's a jolly, technicolour affair - a trippy chrysalis-like structure that glimmers and gleams like a DayGlo worm; it's how I imagine the inside of The Very Hungry Caterpillar to be - the caterpillar which gorges its way through a multicoloured array of foodstuffs before pupating and emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Formed of translucent ETFE panels wrapped around a curved steel structure and weighted by a bright-white concrete floor, it brings an element of carnival cheer to the calm, leafy surroundings for the summer months.
