Radic’s pavilion resembles a shell
2014 Serpentine Pavilion designer announced

Radic is the 14th architect to design the pavilion; previous designers include Herzog and de Meuron and Ai Weiwei, Jean Nouvel and Frank Gehry. Radic’s 350sq m building is a semi-translucent structure, designed to resemble a shell resting on large quarry stones, and was inspired by Oscar Wilde’s story The Castle of the Selfi sh Giant. At night it will be lit with an amber-tinted light, and the semi translucency of its fi breglass shell will
