SERPENTINE PAVILION

The internal courtyards that are a familiar feature of residential houses in her native Mexico has inspired Frida Escobedo’s design for this year’s Serpentine Pavilion. The walls are made from a latticework of wavy concrete roofing tiles that allow light and the breeze to filter through to the enclosed courtyard, formed of two overlapping rectangles. Inside, a curving mirrored ceiling reflects a shallow triangular pool of water, while the movement of the sun creates further plays of light and shadow. The Pavilion is by the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens until 7 October. serpentinegalleries.org
