Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008

Frank Gehry said: 'The Pavilion is designed as a wooden timber structure that acts as an urban street running from the park to the existing Gallery. Inside the Pavilion, glass canopies are hung from the wooden structure to protect the interior from wind and rain and provide for shade during sunny days. The Pavilion is much like an amphitheatre, designed to serve as a place for live events, music, performance, discussion and debate. As the visitor walks through the Pavilion they have access to terraced seating on both sides of the urban street. In addition to the terraced seating there are two elevated seating pods, which are accessed around the perimeter of the Pavilion. These pods serve as visual markers enclosing the street and can be used as stages, private viewing platforms and dining areas.'http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2008/03/forthcoming_summer_2008serpent.html

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion by Frank Gehry, influenced my design of the Vitra Musuem, as the Pavilion is almost shaped like a playground, with slanting wood blocks with the roof hanging from it, shaped almost as a multiple of ladders. http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2008/03/forthcoming_summer_2008serpent.html

Another Frank Gehry's architecture that has influenced my re-modelling of the Vitra Musuem, is one of his early works, a monofamiliar house in front of Venice beach. This house influenced my design, as it includes numerous vibrant and cheerful colours, which allows interaction between the house and the building, and creates a 'public' sense.
