Serpentine Announces Marina Tabassum as the Designer of the 2025 Pavilion

Serpentine has announced the selection of Bangladeshi architect and educator Marina Tabassum and her firm, Marina Tabassum Architects, to design the 2025 Pavilion. Titled "A Capsule in Time," the proposal takes inspiration from the ephemeral nature of architecture in the Bengal Delta, incorporating a semi-transparent structure intended to evoke a sense of community and connection. The Pavilion will open to the public on June 6th, 2025, marking 25 years since the Serpentine's first commission of Zaha Hadid's inaugural structure in Hyde Park in 2000.
