Minsuk Cho's Serpentine Pavilion 2024: A Star-Shaped Exploration of Korean Courtyard Design

The Archipelagic Void features five interconnected structures centered around a circular void, inspired by traditional Korean madangs.

The pavilion includes a gallery, library, tea house, auditorium, and play tower, each serving different functions.
A central void connects the five structures, reflecting the open courtyards of historic Korean homes.
The design incorporates natural timber and concrete, creating a blend of traditional and modern architectural elements.
Visitors can experience a sound installation featuring Korean music and natural sounds from Kensington Gardens.
The pavilion will host a series of performances, talks, and interactive activities until October 27, 2024.
