Occupying am area of approximately 350 square metres, Radic’s structure features a semi-translucent cylindrical structure designed to resemble a shell resting on large quarry stones (a design concept used in some of the architect’s previous buildings, namely the Mestizo restaurant in Santiago). Designed as a flexible, multi-purpose social space with a café on the inside, the Pavilion will also host the Serpentine’s Park Nights series, which will consist of eight site-specific events that bring together art, poetry, music, film, literature and theory and include three new commissions by emerging artists Lina Lapelyte, Hannah Perry and Heather Phillipson.
