The future is today. Today is the future. Today’s serpentine pavilion is its future.
An ensemble of pavilions. Small pavilions and tall pavilions. Low pavilions and high pavilions. Round pavilions and square pavilions. Diamond shaped pavilions and triangular pavilions. Red pavilions and blue pavilions. Green and yellow pavilions.
以及黑色和粉色的亭子、金色和白色的亭子。这是一系列透明的彩色玻璃展馆。
周围的小亭子围绕着中央亭子,就如同公共空间和私人空间。公共空间在中间,私人空间在两侧。
中间是会议空间,周围环绕着聚集亭子,人们可以在这里交流、休息。
Black and pink pavilions. Golden pavilions and white pavilions. Transparent glass and coloured glass. Pavilions and pavilions.
Around the central pavilion many other pavilions around. The main pavilion and the orbital pavilion. The pavilion and its pavilions. Public space and private space. Public in the middle. Private around.
The meeting space in the middle. And the gathering pavilions around. Talk and listen in the middle pavilion. Rest and enjoy in the pavilions around. Tea and coffee around. Word and whatever else in the middle.
And the pavilions around. So many pavilions around. Each another shape and colour. Each another proportion and reference. Each another presence and history. Pavilions that do find their gestalt in their relation to another place. Another time. Another culture. Another world. Somewhere in the world. Somehow in the world.
The pavilions do represent already the future they will be. Spread over the world. Finding place and space where they belong. Schools and galleries.
Museums and studios. The form and appearance today is no more no less the origin where they will arrive. Or rather where they come from.
That’s why they are all so different. But all so together. Together because they are different. And differently together.
The central pavilion will travel to Switzerland. A school will host it. At that school all the orbital pavilions will be re-enacted. Whilst the original orbital pavilions are around the world the re- enactment will take its time but steadily will
arrive to the recompletion of the ensemble. And in the next stage more orbital pavilions will be added. A second and third orbital ring. The ensemble will grow to another world. And to another world.
The serpentine and the serpentine. The ensemble of the pavilions over the world. The world in the pavilions. The serpentine and its three worlds.
London and Switzerland. And anywhere else.
The serpentine pavilion today is yet its future. The future of sharing. Over the world.
