In the London architecture circles not discussing the Brexit’s impact on foreign investment on potential projects, the talk is all about Bjarke Ingels, “The Unzipped Wall.” For the last 16 years, different architects have been commissioned to design a temporary structure at Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in Kensington Gardens. And this time the Danish “it” guy from BIG got his chance.

Ingels effort, made from over 1800 hollow fiberglass frames stacked on top of each other, references the simple and basic form of a brick wall but is oddly cathedral-like. In archi-speak: Ingels says:

“We have attempted to design a structure that embodies multiple aspects that are often perceived as opposites, free-form yet rigorous, modular yet sculptural, transparent and opaque, solid box and blob.”

In truth, it’s a beautiful form that makes a lovely place for cup or tea (Harrod’s hosts a café inside) or to catch a performance. Light comes through the structure’s poetically curving form. But don’t go if it’s raining, the structure leaks terribly.
