Don't go looking for it as Frank Gehrys Serpentine Pavillion in Hyde Park has gone now. They normally get dismantled and sold to the highest bidder so who knows where it'll turn up next.

Being a big fan of Frank Gehry I was expecting great things of his Serpentine Pavillion. Having spent a bit of time there I remained unconvinced. Particularly up close it was a bit disappointing. Some of the detailing seemed a bit clunky and I'm not sure I agreed philosophically with cladding the main steel beams in a timber covering.

I suppose you have to remember the budget for these pavillions is somewhat limited, not something Frank is used to these days building the likes of the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

For added drama i've converted this photo of Frank Gehrys Serpentine Pavillion to Black and White and gone for a pseudo Infra-red effect. The timber structure seems to glow in the darkness.

Frank Gehry took a giant Jenga puzzle as his inspiration for this years Serpentine Pavillion. Maybe.

Detail of handrails to this years Serpentine Pavillion by Frank Gehry.The Pavillion marks a couple of firsts for Frank Gehry, it's his first built structure in England and his first collaborating with his son, Samuel Gehry.

From the Serpentines Website :

'The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008, which gives England the first built project by legendary architect Frank Gehry, is now open to the public. The spectacular structure – designed and engineered in collaboration with Arup – is anchored by four massive steel columns and is comprised of large timber planks and a complex network of overlapping glass planes that create a dramatic, multi-dimensional space. Gehry and his team took inspiration for this year’s Pavilion from a fascinating variety of sources including the elaborate wooden catapults designed by Leonardo da Vinci as well as the striped walls of summer beach huts. Part-amphitheatre, part-promenade, these seemingly random elements make a transformative place for reflection and relaxation by day, and discussion and performance by night.'
