Architect Minsuk Cho describes the range of sensory experiences that his multipurpose Serpentine Pavilion offers in this video produced by Dezeen for the Serpentine Galleries.
Cho designed Archipelagic Void, a star-shaped shelter organised around a central opening, for the Serpentine Galleries’ prestigious commission, which takes place in central London’s Kensington Gardens every year.
“It’s made up of five structures that we call islands,” said Cho in an exclusive video interview with Dezeen.
“These islands surround a central void inspired by Madang, which are Korean traditional courtyard houses.”
He went on to describe how structure, with each arm of its star shape serving a different purpose, encourages visitors to interpret it for their own use.
“I like to have people come in and feel at home – that’s what happens in Madang in Korean traditional houses – and just freely explore what this space can offer and compose your own experience.”
