Mexico City-based Lanza Atelier explains how the history of the Serpentine Pavilion and its surrounding landscape informed the design for this year’s Serpentine Pavilion in this exclusive video interview produced by Dezeen.
The studio’s design for the 25th anniversary of the annual Serpentine Pavilion commission, titled ‘a serpentine’, draws on serpentine walls, also known as crinkle-crankle walls – a type of English brick garden wall.
As its name suggests, the serpentine wall references the shape of a snake and features a one-brick-thick wall arranged in a winding formation.
The Pavilion will be installed outside of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens from 6 June to 25 October 2026.
