Serpentine Galleries Launch Augmented Architecture Open Call with David Adjaye

In partnership with Google Arts & Culture, the Serpentine Galleries has initiated the Serpentine Augmented Architecture open call, inviting architects worldwide to design a groundbreaking augmented reality structure. David Adjaye, who is highlighted in the 'Making Memory' exhibition at the Design Museum in London, supports this project. This competition diverges from conventional pavilions by encouraging innovative applications and urging contestants to rethink architectural concepts. Entries must be submitted by February 25, focusing on three themes: reinventing urban spaces, transcending dimensions, and revitalizing sites. The selected design will be displayed at the Serpentine Galleries in Kensington Gardens, which welcomes over 12 million visitors each year. The jury comprises Adjaye, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Yana Peel, Amit Sood, and Virgil Abloh. The winner will receive £3,000, while finalists will each earn £800.
