Herzog & De Meuron and Ai Wei Wei – Serpentine Gallery Pavilion

2012

The limited edition silkscreen print beautifully illustrates the concept behind the Pavilion 2012 structure, which is based upon the forms of the eleven previous Serpentine Gallery Pavilions. Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei’s print features nine patterns, each demonstrating a different design aspect of their Pavilion. A reflection of the architect’s unique design process, this print layers and combines the architectural plans for the structures that have gone before. Tracing the contingent patterns formed by the striations of the foundations, this print details the historical terrain that has informed the final shape of the Pavilion 2012.
