To coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Pavilion commission in 2015, the Serpentine launched Build Your Own Pavilion, a national competition for young architects between 8-14 years old, inviting them to design their own model for a Pavilion.
The competition received 600 entries, which were divided in to two categories (8-10 years and 11-14 years). This year’s winners are Jasmine, 10, from Teddington, whose Pavilion was inspired by spiders’ webs and Nahida, 13, from Tower Hamlets, London, who created a hill-shaped, transparent pavilion intended as a big studio for people to rent out or to use for
More inspired proposals from the runners-up can be viewed online too, in both the 8-10 category and 11-14 category.
4 February 2016.
