frank gehry designs serpentine summer pavilion

frank gehry has designed a temporary structure for the serpentine gallery as part of their annual summer pavilion. this is the first building that has been constructed in england by gehry. he worked with his son samuel gehry to create the structure. his inspiration came from timber structures, garden parties, a flock of butterflies and a military catapult created by leonardo da vinci. the structure is 16m high, consists of large timber planks, hanging glass and beams with an inner core of structural steel. the pavillion will be open to the public from next week and will hold talks and events.
