Lanza Atelier to Design 25th Serpentine Pavilion in London
The Serpentine Pavilion celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026 by commissioning Mexican duo Lanza Atelier to design its summer pavilion. Their project, titled 'A Serpentine,' draws inspiration from 18th-century English 'crinkle-crankle' garden walls, featuring a long brick serpentine form weaving through the trees of Kensington Gardens, topped with a translucent roof. The pavilion will be installed at Serpentine South Gallery from June 6 to October 25, 2026.
