SANAA 獲邀設計 2009 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion
日本建築師事務所 SANAA（妹島和世 + 西澤立衛 | Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa）受邀設計2009年的 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion。
位於倫敦肯辛頓公園內的蛇型藝廊（Serpentine Gallery），每年夏天都會出現三個月的臨時建築 - Serpentine Gallery Pavilion，作為派對、展覽或演講等活動的場地，夏天過了就立即拆除。
不過蛇型藝廊(Serpentine Gallery)也不會隨便邀請建築師，首先，邀請的建築師必須未曾在英國有過其他建築作品（也就是說讓這些受邀的建築師所設計的 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 成為他們在英國的第一件作品），建築師進行設計時，必須注意的事項包括：需為開放空間、基地面積僅有300平方米、臨時性建築。
歷年來曾獲邀請設計 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 的建築師包括：Zaha Hadid、Daniel Libeskind、Toyo Ito、MVRDV(設計未實現)、Oscar Niemeyer、Rem Koolhaas、Frank O. Gehry 等，其中六位得過建築界最高榮譽普立茲克獎(Pritzker Architecture Prize)。

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2009
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA
The Serpentine Gallery is delighted to announce that the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2009 will be designed by architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, of the leading Japanese practice SANAA. Sejima and Nishizawa's Pavilion will be the architects' first built structure in the UK and the ninth commission in the Gallery's annual series of Pavilions, the world's first and most ambitious architectural programme of its kind. The Pavilion will open in July on the Serpentine Gallery's lawn, where it will remain until October.
Sejima and Nishizawa' s pioneering buildings have created an architecture that marries aesthetic simplicity with technical complexity, defining a new architectural language, which plays with light and perception. Sought after by high-profile clients the world over, from the Louvre Museum in Lens, France, to the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, USA, SANAA's projects are open stages, which make visible the connection between the built structure, the users and the natural environment.
Sejima, who in her early days studied at the Japan Women's University and worked with architect Toyo Ito, designer of the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in 2002, began collaborating with Nishizawa in 1995. Sejima and Nishizawa's Pavilion will operate as a café and as a venue for the Gallery's acclaimed programme of public talks and events, Park Nights, attracting up to 250,000 visitors every summer. Sejima and Nishizawa will work with the structural design and engineering firm SAPS, led by Mutsuro Sasaki, and with the Arup team, led by David Glover and Ed Clark with Cecil Balmond, to realise this project.
Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Serpentine Gallery, said: 「It is our dream come true to be working with world-leading architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. Their work will be a wonderful addition to the Pavilion series, the only commission of its kind worldwide that annually gives preeminent architects their debut in this country and brings the best of contemporary architecture to London for everyone to enjoy.」
There is no budget for the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion commission. It is paid for by sponsorship, sponsorship help-in-kind, and the sale of the finished structure, which does not cover more than 40% of its cost. The Serpentine Gallery collaborates with a range of companies and individuals whose support makes it possible to realise the Pavilion.
NetJets Europe is the title sponsor for the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2009. Mark Booth, Executive Chairman said: 「We're looking forward to seeing Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa's plans for the Serpentine Pavilion 2009, and are delighted to help to bring their work to London and to the Serpentine Gallery. Design is an area that we're passionate about at NetJets and we know it's something our customers care deeply about too. Design plays an incredibly influential role in how we live, so we're firmly focussed on how we can bring world-class design to our customers' flight experience – whether that's working with Lord Foster on our fleet's livery and the NetJets 7X, or lending our support to the Serpentine Gallery.」
Arup will provide all the engineering and specialist design solutions for the Pavilion. Arup Director David Glover commented: 「Arup's eighth year of commitment to the Serpentine Pavilion reflects our belief in the project and the positive experience our teams get from collaborating with some of the most exciting architects of our time. This year's Pavilion is sure not to disappoint and will doubtless reflect the exciting dynamism that SANAA bring to all of their projects.」
Peter Rogers, Director of Stanhope, will donate his expertise to all aspects of the Pavilion. He said: 「The Serpentine Pavilion is a unique project whose innovative and challenging designs transcend normal building projects as well as fusing art and architecture in an exciting built form.」
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa
Kazuyo Sejima (b. 1956, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan) studied architecture at the Japan Women's University before joining the practice of architect Toyo Ito. She launched her own practice in 1987 and was named the Japan Institute of Architects' Young Architect of the Year in Japan in 1992. In 1995, Sejima, with Ryue Nishizawa (b. 1966, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan), founded the Tokyo-based firm SANAA (Sejima + Nishizawa and Associates). Nishizawa studied architecture at Yokohama National University and, in addition to his work with Sejima, has also maintained an independent practice since 1997. He holds professorships at prestigious institutions such as Yokohama National University and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Sejima and Nishizawa were jointly awarded the Golden Lion at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2004. Sejima teaches as a Visiting Professor both at Tama Art University and Keio University in Tokyo and, with Ryue Nishizawa, holds the Jean Labatut Professorship at the School of Architecture at Princeton University, New Jersey, USA. SANAA's numerous celebrated buildings include a satellite of the Louvre Museum in Lens, France; Toledo Museum of Art's Glass Pavilion in Toledo, Ohio, USA; the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, USA, and the extension of the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern in Valencia, Spain. In Japan, SANAA's work includes the N-Museum in Wakayama; the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, and the Onishi Civic Center in Onishi.
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion Commission
The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion commission was conceived by Serpentine Gallery Director, Julia Peyton-Jones, in 2000. It is an ongoing programme of temporary structures by internationally acclaimed architects and designers. It is unique worldwide and presents the work of an international architect or design team who, at the time of the Serpentine Gallery's invitation, has not completed a building in England. The Pavilion architects to date are: Frank Gehry, 2008; Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen, 2007; Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, with Arup, 2006; Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura with Cecil Balmond, Arup, 2005; MVRDV with Arup, 2004 (un-realised); Oscar Niemeyer, 2003; Toyo Ito with Arup, 2002; Daniel Libeskind with Arup, 2001; and Zaha Hadid, 2000. Each Pavilion is sited on the Gallery's lawn for three months and the immediacy of the process – a maximum of six months from invitation to completion – provides a peerless model for commissioning architecture.
Park Nights, the Gallery's acclaimed programme of public talks and events, will take place in Sejima and Nishizawa's Pavilion, and will culminate in the annual Marathon event that takes place in October. In 2006 the Park Nights programme included the now legendary 24-hour Serpentine Gallery Interview Marathon, convened by Hans Ulrich Obrist and architect Rem Koolhaas, which was followed, in 2007, by the Serpentine Gallery Experiment Marathon presented by artist Olafur Eliasson and Obrist, which featured experiments performed by leading artists and scientists. In 2008, Obrist led over 60 participants in the Serpentine Gallery Manifesto Marathon.
