Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog - art: A jangling mass on the Serpentine horizonFrank Gehry has been selected and has completed his design for this year’s Serpentine Summer Pavillion. I have to say, this is usually one of the highlights of the lead up to summer for me, I LOVE the way the Serpentine has capitalized on the space that surrounds it in Hyde Park… but I don’t love this design. I see the Pavillion as a place to engage the public, and this design feels aggressive and violent to me - and not welcoming.
