The design, titled A Serpentine, takes its formal cue from the crinkle-crankle wall, a traditional English garden feature characterised by its sinuous single-brick construction, a form that also gives the programme its name.<\/p>\n<p>The pavilion is divided into two distinct elements: a primary habitable space topped with a transparent roof and an outdoor gathering area bordered by a winding brick bench. The use of red brick connects the structure directly to the facade of the Serpentine South Gallery, creating a material conversation between the new pavilion and the existing building it sits alongside each summer.<\/p>\n<p>LANZA Atelier is the second Mexican studio to receive the commission, following Frida Escobedo in 2018. For architects and designers, the pavilion represents a useful study in how a tightly constrained brief can still generate architecture that is formally distinctive and materially considered. It remains on view through 25 October 2026.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 32px 0; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Serpentine+Gallery+Kensington+Gardens+London+W2&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico City studio LANZA Atelier brings a sinuous brick structure to Kensington Gardens for the Serpentine Pavilion&#8217;s 25th anniversary edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","footnotes":""},"categories":[44,19,55,80],"tags":[],"location":[71],"class_list":["post-10260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-events","category-events","category-exhibitions-and-showcases","category-uk-events","location-london"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10260"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10694,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10260\/revisions\/10694"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/10693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10260"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bespokecareers.com\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/location?post=10260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
