Mexican studio Lanza Atelier<\/a> has created A Serpentine, a snaking brick-walled structure for the 25th edition of the Serpentine Pavilion<\/a> in London<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sinuous red brick<\/a> structure, which opens to the public this weekend, was designed by the Mexico-city based studio to reference a traditional English brick wall, known as a crinkle-crankle wall.<\/p>\n

These one-brick-thick walls are sometimes found in English gardens and are know for using fewer bricks than a straight wall.<\/p>\n

The structure is the first Serpentine Pavilion to be built from brick.<\/p>\n

“There was no serpentine pavilion before made of brick, so that was a main target \u2013 to achieve something different as a practice and for the pavilion,” Lanza Atelier<\/a>\u00a0co-founder Alessandro Arienzo told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“We also became very enamoured with the serpentine wall concept,” he continued. “It resembles our philosophy in the studio that we want to build with less.”<\/p>\n

The pavilion opens this weekend<\/em><\/p>\n

The design by <\/span>Lanza Atelier<\/a> is divided into two halves \u2013 a main public space topped with a transparent roof and an outdoor gathering area framed by a winding brick bench.<\/span>The crinkle crankle wall stretches across the garden creating an “undulating boundary” that encloses the pavilion’s main, habitable space, along with a second, similarly-sinuous wall at the pavilion’s northern end.<\/p>\n

Its red brick structure was built without mortar to allow for disassembly, instead using steel plates to stabilise the walls and columns.<\/p>\n

Gaps in the envelope create entrance points at either end of the space.<\/p>\n

Inside, single-brick columns, reinforced with steel, divide the interior and support the pavilion’s overhanging roof structure, which follows the curvature of the walls below.<\/p>\n

The roof’s gridded white steel structure was topped with transparent panels that allow daylight into the space.<\/p>\n
