London Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2007, Hyde Park, London

The Serpentine Gallery Pavillion for 2007 by Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen.

The 2007 Pavilion was a timber-clad structure resembling a spinning top. It brought a dramatic vertical dimension to the more usual single-level Pavilion. A wide, spiralling ramp made two complete turns, ascending from the gallery’s lawn to the seating area and continued upwards, culminating at the highest point in a view across Kensington Gardens and down into the chamber below. From here.
