Serpentine Summer House - 3D Models
This temporary summer pavilion is commissioned every year in London's Kensington Gardens for architectural experimentation. This small Pavilion rotated 360 mechanically on to top of the hill which offered panoramic views of the park while providing interesting views from the park below of the ever changing form.
This Pavilion starts as a series of undulating lines of bands that reminds one of a contour drawing where one continuously draws a line without lifting the pencil from the paper. The Summer House Pavilion is organized in 4 bands of structure where the first one starts with a bench attached to the ground, the 2nd band, 3 C-shaped walls that are crowned by a 3rd and 4th level that acts as a cantilevered roof that also undulates in loops of bench wood.
The construction materials were rather simple, the skind is plywood on a steel tube frame to harmonize with the looping geometry of the structure.
