Daniel Libeskind<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Eighteen Turns<\/strong>, <strong>Daniel Libeskind&#8217;s <\/strong>pavilion<strong> for 2001<\/strong>, was an aluminium-clad structure, as opposed to the bricks of the Gallery, which played on the reflection of the colour of the sky and the green of the grass.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11222\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11221\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/daniel-libeskind-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"daniel-libeskind-pavilion-2001.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"793\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Libeskind, 2001.

Toyo Ito<\/h4>\n\n<p>The inspiration of <strong>Toyo Ito<\/strong>, <strong>who designed the Pavilion in 2002<\/strong>, was a square that expands as it rotates. The geometry of the construction was designed by Cecil Balmond, thanks to an algorithm. Today the pavilion is located in Le Beauvallon, a mansion between Cannes and Marseille, which can be rented for exclusive holidays.<\/p>\n<h4>2003. Oscar Niemeyer<\/h4>\n\n<p>The only architecture built by <strong>Oscar Niemeyer in the UK<\/strong> was the Serpentine Pavilion, <strong>in 2003<\/strong>. The legendary Brazilian master succeeded in building an auditorium elevated from the ground, which was accessed by a dramatic red ramp.<\/p>\n<h4>2004. MVRDV &#8211; not realized<\/h4>\n\n<p>In 2004, the <strong>Dutch firm MVRDV<\/strong> presented a rather elaborate project, which involved the construction of a mountain, which housed the areas for leisure and activities. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of the project and the high cost, <strong>the MVRDV project for 2004 was not built.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>2005. Alvaro Siza and Edouardo Souto de Mora, with Cecil Balmond<\/h4>\n\n<p>In 2005, <strong>the Pavilion was designed by Alvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Mora, again with Cecil Balmond<\/strong>. The Portuguese architects&#8217; pavilion was an architecture designed to interact with the neoclassical Gallery building, again with the support of Cecil Balmond.<\/p>\n<h4>2006. Rem Koolhaas with Cecil Balmond<\/h4>\n\n<p>Again a collaboration with <strong>Cecil Balmond<\/strong>, in 2006, to realize <strong>the inflatable shell designed by Rem Koolhaas<\/strong>.

For the first time, the Pavilion was on two floors.<\/p>\n<h4>2008. Frank Gehry<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>In 2008, Frank Gehry<\/strong> designed a structure consisting of large wooden beams, supported by steel columns and closed by overlapping glass panes. Another work realized thanks to the engineering studio Arup. Frank Gehry&#8217;s Pavilion is now at Ch\u00e2teau La Coste, near Aix en Provence.<\/p>\n<h4>2009. SANAA (Kazuyo Sejima &amp; Rue Nishizawa)<\/h4>\n\n<p>The <strong>Pavilion 2009<\/strong>, <strong>curated by SANAA<\/strong>, was inspired by the temporary nature of the work, highlighted by trying to integrate the structure into the surrounding landscape. A <strong>thin aluminium canopy, resembling a large irregular cloud, stood on even thinner columns of varying heights.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11264\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11263\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sanaa-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"pavilion-2009-sanaa.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pavilion 2009, by SANAA.

Jean Nouvel<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>The Serpentine Pavilion 2010, designed by Jean Nouvel<\/strong>, was a <strong>dramatic red structure<\/strong> standing out from the green of the surrounding grass.

Sou Fujimoto<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Sou Fujimoto, in 2013<\/strong>, designed a <strong>metal latticework<\/strong>, which encouraged to socialize freely and outside the box, as a tribute to the country atmosphere of Kensington Gardens. The setting was renamed &#8220;Reja&#8221; (Clouds, in Albanian), and is now located in Tirana, in the National Art Gallery, where it houses shows and exhibitions.<\/p>\n<h4>2014. Smiljan Radi\u0107<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Chilean architect Smiljan Radi\u0107 drew inspiration from the &#8220;follies&#8221; in 2014<\/strong>, the buildings built for decorative purposes in English and French gardens in the 1700s and up to the end of the 1800s, often inspired by fake ruins.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11300\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Offenbach-2014Radic-Pavilion_MG_7180-1-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pavilion 2014, Smiljan Radic.

Selgascano<\/h4>\n\n<p>The <strong>Pavilion 2015<\/strong>, by the <strong>Spanish architects Selgascano<\/strong>, was playful and inspired by the chaotic flow of London.
