Perspex - Just as Fab Outside

Project: Summer Pavilion, Serpentine Gallery, London, UK

Design Firm: Kazuyo Sejima, and Ryue Nishizawa, Japan.

Design Notes
Perspex® clear acrylic in 20mm and 25mm thick sheet has been used to create beautiful transparent walls in this year's Summer Pavilion at London's prestigious Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens.

Each year the gallery commissions designers or architects, who have not yet had their work shown in England, to produce a temporary Summer Pavilion which is used to house the main summer program of exhibitions and events. This year, Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima, and Ryue Nishizawa were commissioned to create the Pavilion.

The result was a beautiful, ethereal structure comprising a curved, shaped and highly polished aluminium canopy roof, supported by tall slim columns, bound by partial and intermittent walls of Perspex® clear acrylic.

Perspex® is an ideal choice for any outdoor design, made tough to handle all conditions Perspex® comes with a 10 year outdoors warranty.

The Pavilion was open during the summer months up to late autumn and was the venue for a number of exhibitions and events including a two-day poetry marathon.
