describing their structure the architects say:
‘the pavilion is floating aluminum, drifting freely between the trees like smoke.
the reflective canopy undulates across the site, expanding the park and sky.
its appearance changes according to the weather, allowing it to melt into the surroundings.
it works as a field of activity with no walls, allowing uninterrupted view across the park
and encouraging access from all sides. it is a sheltered extension of the park where
people can read, relax and enjoy lovely summer days.’

separate areas within the pavilion contain spaces for a café and an auditorium,
where the park nights events program will be presented, including performances,
talks, film screenings and the serpentine gallery poetry marathon.
