An introduction to the 23rd Serpentine Pavilion, envisioned by South Korean architect Minsuk Cho as an archipelago of five islands encircling a central void.
The 2024 Serpentine Pavilion is composed of five "islands", each structure is unique in size, height and form. Radiating from the circular void, these islands act as nodes in the lawn, but also reference traditional Korean houses that feature a madang, an open courtyard at the centre. Each structure is conceived as a "content machine", serving a different purpose and individually named. Taken together, they create a continuous concentric spectrum between openness and enclosure.
