Radic chosen to design 2014 Serpentine Pavilion

摘要

Chilean architect Smiljan Radic will design this year's pavilion at the Serpentine Gallery in London's Kensington Gardens. Serpentine Gallery director Julia Peyton-Jones said it had been following Radio's progress for a while now. "We have been intrigued by his work ever since our first encounter with him at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2011." Radic recently won a scheme to build a new telecoms tower on top of a hill in Chile's capital Santiago where his practice is based. His design at the Serpentine will cover 350sq m and is intended to resemble a shell sitting on large quarry stones. It will be made of f ibreglass with Aecom again providing engineering and technical design services.
