Over the summer I visited the new Serpentine pavilion by architect Peter Zumthor. The pavilion's design consists of tall, black stained wooden corridors wrapping around an enclosed central garden with an opening to the sky. A hortus conclusus. Zumthor designed the pavilion to put the emphasis on "the role the senses and emotions play in our experience of architecture". Following on from last years ideas about senses,interaction and installation art, I thought the ideas and concepts of designing darkened corridors which lead into a green and light space, a sanctuary, were extremely interesting. I like how the design prompts an emotional response to the viewer and is definately something I would like to incorporate into my own work.
