located in london, england, the 11th serpentine gallery pavilion designed by swiss architect peter zumthor is now complete.
the current addition to the annual series, established by gallery director julia peyton-jones, joins the repertoire of commissions
which includes structures created by frank gehry, jean nouvel, and SANAA. funded through contributions by dedicated sponsors,
this location will host high profile public talks and events beginning july 1 through october 16, 2011.

this work fulfills zumthor's vision of 'hortus conclusus', an endeavor which focuses upon a synthesized experience between
architecture and vegetation. the pavilion is constructed with a lightweight timber frame and then wrapped with scrim and coated
with a black paste-and-sand mixture. upon traveling through a matrix of
dark hallways with intermittent streams of natural light,
this material gestures visitors attention away from the bustling city and towards the secluded intimate interior.

upon entering the hidden central space, the open roof over the garden illuminates the courtyard while
seating around the perimeter
of the vegetation offers onlookers a pleasant view. this pavilion's
enclosed pleasure garden is the product of an unprecedented joint
initiative with dutch designer piet oudolf. the carefully chosen flora produces an array of colors, fragrances and textures which consume
the individuals corporeal senses. additionally attracting butterflies and bees into
the space, this unexpected encounter with nature
redirects contemplation skyward creating a meditative atmosphere.
