But first, take a walk around the soaring structure to experience how, depending on the angle, its appearance shifts mesmerizingly from fragile to robust, solid to transparent. When you enter the grounds from King Street, the pavilion looks a bit like an enormous, gracefully curved seashell, inviting you to explore its cavernous interior. Ingels’s resurrected Serpentine Pavilion is located at 533 King Street West, just a short stroll away from Toronto’s Union Station (which-incidentally-plays host to Louis Vuitton’s Time Capsule exhibition until the end of September).
Further stops are envisaged in Vancouver, New York, and Shanghai. “And so,” says Ingels, “we designed it knowing it would have a traveling life.” The first destination on this world-spanning tour is the bustling Fashion District in Toronto, where it opened last week in a festive ceremony hosted by Westbank and attended by the architect, as well as a few hundred illustrious Torontonians. Ian Gillespie, founder of Westbank, a renowned Canadian development firm and the project’s patron, came up with the idea of sending the structure “on the road” following its initial run at Kensington Gardens. When Danish star achitect Bjarke Ingels, responsible for Burning Man’s popular ORB and the new Google headquarters, got the call from the Serpentine Gallery two years ago, he intended to give his pavilion a different afterlife. Toyo Ito’s 2002 pavilion fares marginally better, having been recycled as the beach café of a luxury Côte d’Azur hotel. This first-ever Serpentine pavilion now plays host to discos and children’s birthday parties in a corner of Flambards theme park in Cornwall, somewhere between Ferdi’s Funland and the Rocking Tug Boat. And yet, a cool warehouse might be considered a merciful destiny compared to the fate of Zaha Hadid’s 2000 pavilion. One particularly eager collector reportedly acquired no less than four pavilions-only to send them straight to storage. Ever since the Serpentine Gallery started adorning its flawless English lawn in Kensington Gardens with a summer pavilion designed by some of the biggest names in architecture, such was the afterlife of many of these impermanent exhibits.
