Places to See: Frank Gehry's Serpentine Pavilion in London

Architect, Frank Gehry makes his London debut with the Serpentine Pavilion. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s catapult designs, Gehry fuses massive beams of timber with steel, glass and concrete creating an interesting balance between modern and historic.

The structure is a piece of art, but it also serves as “part-amphitheatre and part-promenade.” Per the Pavilion website, “These seemingly random elements make a transformative place for reflection and relaxation by day, and discussion and performance by night.” Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area. Gehry’s Pavilion will be open until October 19. Click Read More for additional details and photos.
