First Look at the 2025 Serpentine Pavilion Designed by Marina Tabassum

Serpentine Galleries has just revealed the first photos of the 2025 Serpentine Pavilion. Designed by Bangladeshi architect and educator Marina Tabassum and her firm, Marina Tabassum Architects, the pavilion marks the 25th year since the Serpentine's first commission of Zaha Hadid's inaugural structure in Hyde Park in 2000. Titled "A Capsule in Time," the design takes inspiration from the ephemeral, adaptive architecture of the Bengal Delta, featuring a semi-transparent structure that aims to foster a sense of community and collective experience. The pavilion will be open to the public in London's Kensington Gardens from June 6th to October 26th, 2025.
