Kéré, who leads the Berlin-based practice Kéré Architecture, was the 17th architect to accept the Serpentine Galleries’ invitation to design a temporary Pavilion in its grounds. Since its launch in 2000, this annual commission of an international architect to build his or her first structure in London at the time of invitation has become one of the most anticipated events in the global cultural calendar and a leading visitor attraction during London’s summer season. Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist and then CEO Yana Peel made their selection of the architect, with advisors David Adjaye and Richard Rogers.

This limited edition is a unique drawing by the architect with Kéré taking inspiration from the 2017 Pavilion.
