Starting from June 25 visitors can discover the amorphous, double-skinned, polygonal structure designed by Spanish architects SelgasCano for the 15th anniversary of the Serpentine Pavilion.

The pavilion can be accessed at a number of different points, passing through a secret corridor between the outer and inner layer of the structure and into the Pavilion’s colourful interior. The architects’ inspiration not only came from the site itself, but from the ways in which people move through London, notably the London Underground with its many-layered, chaotic yet structured flow.
