Minsuk Cho and Mass Studies to Design Serpentine Pavilion 2024

The 'Archipelagic Void' Pavilion, inspired by traditional Korean houses, will feature five distinct 'islands' and host a variety of live events.

Minsuk Cho and his firm Mass Studies have been chosen to design the 23rd Serpentine Pavilion, which will be displayed at Serpentine South from June 7 to October 27, 2024.
The pavilion, titled 'Archipelagic Void', will consist of five 'islands' encircling an open space, each serving a specific purpose.
The 'Gallery' will extend Serpentine South’s curatorial activities outdoors, the 'Auditorium' will serve as a gathering area, the 'Library' will provide a quiet space for reflection, the 'Tea House' will pay homage to Serpentine South's historical role as a tea pavilion, and the 'Play Tower' will represent the most open space.
The design draws inspiration from the Madang of traditional Korean houses and aims to create a dynamic and engaging environment within the Pavilion.
The Serpentine Pavilion 2024 will host Park Nights, an interdisciplinary platform offering live experiences in music, poetry, spoken word, and dance, running concurrently with Serpentine’s programs in Technology and Ecology, including the 2024 Infinite Ecologies Marathon and Civic & Education activations.
