Serpentine Pavilion 2010, Kensington Gardens London

French architect Jean Nouvel designed the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2010 in London, England. Bold geometric planes rise softly from the city toward the park, overlapping each other. The steel and polycarbonate forms form a box frame and repeat, with a glass and fabric box on one side and a tall diagonal plane on the other side. The stark red color recalls the famous British phone booth and bus, and contrasts with the green nature. A variety of transparencies suggests an evocative perception of the greenery according to the architecture.
