'The Serpentine Pavilion is a magical programme, a constant provocation to see how the world’s most interesting architects can do something remarkable with so little' – Financial Times

‘This is certainly the most beautifully childish pavilion in the 15-year history of the Serpentine Gallery’s annual contribution to fun and games in Hyde Park’ – The Independent

‘The place comes alive with people, a shadow-dance of shapes and reflections, as park life melds into a pearly soap-bubble mirage. At night, it transforms into a fantastical alien glow-worm’ – the Guardian
