The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2011
Architect: Peter Zumthor
Garden Design: Piet Oudolf
The pavilion gave us an extra ordinal impression, partly because of the contrast between outside and inside space. The corridor to the garden provided the time for us to develop expectation in the complete darkness until we reach to the garden, which was utterly a heaven on earth.
"The concept for this year’s Pavilion is the hortus conclusus, a contemplative room, a garden within a garden. One enters the building from the lawn and begins the transition into the central garden, a place abstracted from the world of noise and traffic and the smells of London – an interior space within which to sit, to walk, to observe the flowers."
