Smiljan Radić
(Untitled) Drawing for design of the Serpentine Pavilion  2014
Mixed media on paper
10 x 18 cm (approx)
Edition of 91 (each unique) 

Whilst designing the Serpentine Pavilion 2014, Smiljan Radić repeatedly drew his ideas for the structure on the pages of his moleskine notebook.

Filling the book from cover to cover and conducted at a rapid pace, the drawings form an integral part of Radić’s process for designing the Serpentine Pavilion.

To create his Limited Edition, the pages of his book have been carefully removed. Each of the 91 pages a complete work in itself; these have been individually stamped with the architect’s initials SR on the reverse.

Radić’s bold drawings shed light on the architect’s  process and are revelatory in showing how a stream of relatively abstract images can inform a finished design.

Smiljan Radić (b.1965 in Chile) is a Chilean architect and has completed the majority of his structures in Chile. His commissions range from public buildings, such as Restaurant Mestizo, Santiago and domestic buildings, such as Copper House 2, Talca, to small and seemingly fragile buildings, such as the Extension to Charcoal Burner’s House, Santa Rosa. Considerate of social conditions, environments and materials, Radić moves freely across boundaries, avoiding any specific categorisation within one field of architecture. This versatility enables him to respond to the demands of each setting, whether spatial constraints of an urban site or extreme challenges presented by a remote rural setting, mountainous terrain or the rocky coastline of his native Chile.
