An Invitation to Dine
2023
Overview
DESIGNED BY the France-based Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh, this year's Serpentine Pavilion is a deceptively simple structure made of glulam beams and timber posts, providing Kensington Gardens, one of London's grand central parks, with an ornate wood tent. Whereas several recent pavilions have explored architectural language or sculptural form (think of Junya Ishigami's daring, slightly preposterous slate roof in 2019, or the Minecraft Neoclassicism of Sumayya Vally's 2021 design), Ghotmeh's pavilion is derived from an understanding of the building's program. While the inexpensive materials from which it is assembled-it has a pleated plywood roof and simple timber floors-suggest that the Zeitgeist may be short on cash, on a deeper level the building suggests that the times call for renewed emphasis on human interaction, and for some fun.
