Marina Tabassum's Serpentine Pavilion for 2025 harmonizes gently with Kensington Gardens through its elongated, pill-shaped form inspired by South Asian ceremonial tents. Featuring timber arches that rise to twenty-eight metres, the pavilion’s design is both inviting and contemplative, using materials that foster a tactile warmth. The atmosphere within is meditative, with light filtering through translucent brown panels, inviting reflection among visitors. The pavilion emphasizes the relationship between interior and exterior, offering a sanctuary that encourages pause and appreciation in the dynamic environment of nature and architecture.
The pavilion's pill-shaped volume stretches fifty-five metres, never overpowering, with timber arches that rise to twenty-eight metres—creating a vaulted enclosure that invites exploration.
Marina Tabassum's design evokes a meditative calm, with soft daylight filtering through translucent panels, encouraging visitors to pause and absorb the serene beauty of the space.
