In 2012, Paulo Mendes da Rocha received a commission from Hans Ulrich Obrist to design a temporary pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery in London, as part of a series of ephemeral constructions initiated by Oscar Niemeyer in 2003.<\/p>\n

The proposal consists of a cylindrical structure suspended above the ground, creating a translucent circular space covered by a conical textile membrane that channels rainwater to the center, forming an impluvium similar to an inverted Pantheon. The ingenious structural solution included an internal concrete ring, which, due to its weight, would maintain the tension of the entire structure solely through the action of gravity, utilizing the inherent rigidity of circular forms\u2014tension and compression rings.<\/p>\n

The project was developed in collaboration with local engineering consultants\u2014Arup Consultants\u2014partners of the Serpentine, and there were discussions about activating the space with performance artist Marina Abramovi\u0107. However, it was suspended in 2013 and was never realized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
