Architect Marina Tabassum (@marinatabassum) told Dezeen how her recently unveiled Serpentine Pavilion reflects “a blurring of boundaries”.
Tabassum has designed A Capsule in Time, a light-filled partially sheltered structure, with her practice Marina Tabassum Architects, as part of the annual Serpentine commission (@serpentineuk).
“[The pavilion] has this very archaic form and has a certain sense of enclosure, but we’ve made these cuts, and that also creates a connection to the park and the surrounding,” explained Tabassum.
“I think that is an idea of a pavilion paradigm that really exists also in our landscape in Bangladesh, where we have a subtropical climate, and in order to build architecture, all you need is a roof over your head, so the boundary between in and out is almost non existent,” she said.
The pavilion is located in Kensington Gardens in London and will run until 26 October 2025.
