Serpentine making of

Stage One presents a behind-the-scenes manufacture and building of the new pavilion designed by Francis Kéré in London for the Serpentine Galleries.

For the ninth year in a row, Stage One manufactured and installed a pavilion for the Serpentine Galleries. The video showcases a behind-the-scenes of the workshops during the manufacture and build of the Serpentine Pavilion 2017 in London, designed by Kéré Architecture. Inspired by the large canopy of a tree, Kéré’s pavilion rests on fourteen legs, an oval canopy of cantilevered steel rising and spreading outwards. Roof panels of slatted wood cast shade and a series of curved wall sections provide shelter but offer glimpses of sky and the park beyond.
