The Serpentine Gallery has launched its summer pavilion for 2015, designed by Spanish architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano. A colourful design that marking the 15th anniversary of the yearly project.

SalgasCano’s pavilion is a temporary structure that it is a mix of light and color. This pavilion has four entrances with a congregating area for visitors in the center. The café installed inside the pavilion is run by purveyors of high-class edible delights Fortnum & Mason.

Pavililion structure consists of two layers of coloured ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) plastic wrapped around a white steel frame.

“We wanted to test different things with a new material, in this case ETFE. We wanted to try out [how the material could create] different shadows, colours and effects, which we haven’t tested before.” Selgas says in an interview with Deezen.

These prize-winning architects are based in Madrid and their work is known for its use of synthetic materials and advanced technologies.

“We sought a way to allow the public to experience architecture through simple elements: structure, light, transparency, shadows, lightness, form, sensitivity, change, surprise, color, and materials,” read a statement from SelgasCano.
