Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto designed this year's temporary pavilion for London's Serpentine Gallery. The structure—a delicate 3,770-square-foot installation composed of thin steel poles—will serve as a social space and house a café. The pavilion will begin its four-month run on the gallery’s front lawn on June 8.
