The reflective quality of the mirrored screens reflects and
disrupts the context. Fragments of the building appear in the
landscape, and fragments of the landscape in the building. The
roof overlaid with a mesh veil creates a canopy-like environment
that enhances the layering of images and the interplay of
space, perception and memory: this year’s London Festival of
Architecture theme.
The pavilion’s elegant structure, developed through close
collaboration between the architects, engineers and fabricators,
demanded precision in both design and manufacture. Bespoke
steel, aluminium and timber components were all fabricated by
Weber Industries in their Peckham studio, before the structure
was assembled on site. The pavilion has been engineered by
StructureMode to allow efficient construction, with minimum
disruption and environmental impact to the historic grounds.
