Serpentine Pavilion, London

The pavilion was based on a simple rectangular grid that was distorted into a dynamic, curved form. It consisted of interlocking wooden beams, a material that emphasized the relationship between the pavilion and the surrounding park. The service provided was the production and installation of a shell structure using 3D robot milled Kerto® panels. The Kerto® panels were pressure impregnated.
