i think the image is beautiful! its very clear of the concept. as for the design, im most curious as to how the columns will be, and how they connect to the aluminum surface. but guessing sanaa…it will be very thin steel columns with an invisible joinery to the aluminum plane. i also wonder how it will feel like underneath this canopy…it is just basically a canopy in the landscape huh? but graet!

anyway this is a breath of fresh air for the serpentine gallery. the several past designs (except that round one with the screen-string facade) have been just egotastic excercises…large and in-charge kind of style. this seems like it would be very impressive and peaceful. less is more reigns further!!!

I love dezeen comments. always informative, raging from the highly appreciative trend describers (with and without a solid foundation) to the very informative, influence-revealing ones filled with spontaneous and sincere criticism.

Keep it up.

About the current serpentine gallery pavilion, i probably would have failed a project with that kind of graphics, but probably in two years’ time this will be the big thing. Of course, there’s insufficient material available to fully judge it – just one small childish graphic is not enough to make sense of a project – but maybe this is part of the whole “concept”.

adding it all up, it seems the answer is 42.
