Winner Special Prize for Fabrication and Execution
Short description │
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013
The Serpentine Gallery’s annual Pavilion is an opportunity for an international architect to showcase
their expertise in the UK. Each pavilion is intended to be an example of contemporary architecture and
cutting edge engineering which aims to inspire and intrigue everyone who has the opportunity to visit
the venue during its four month lifespan.
The 2013 Pavilion is no exception - the structure is a vierendeel space frame constructed from
members with almost negligible moment capacity. The design and fabrication of this structure has to be
completed within four months, adding additional pressure to the design and fabrication teams.
Collaboration and exchange of electronic design information was vital to the success of the project.
