“It was my dream project,” Zumthor said as he stood admiring the wild bed of grasses and plant life bursting forth from the center of the peaceful haven he has created. That is precisely the objective of the Serpentine’s brilliant commission: to provide a leading architect who has never designed a work in the UK before with a generous budget, a busy public plot of land, and absolute freedom to build their fantasy summer hangout.
