Movie: Serpentine Gallery director Julia Peyton-Jones discusses the spinning top-shaped pavilion designed by Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen in 2007 in the next instalment from our exclusive video series Photograph by Luke HayesDanish-Icelandic artist Eliasson and Norwegian architect Thorsen of Snøhetta collaborated to design the
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in 2007.
"It's the only time an artist has been involved in designing the pavilion," says Peyton-Jones in the movie. "We wanted to broaden out the selection to see if by introducing an artist there would be a different kind of view on the whole project. Of course, there was."
Eliasson and Thorsen created a timber-clad structure with a ramp spiralling around the outside.
