倫敦蛇形藝廊展亭2002 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion/Toyo Ito伊東豊雄
2002年夏天,日本建築師 Toyo Ito(伊東豊雄)為英國倫敦的蛇形藝廊(Serpentine Gallery)設計了一座臨時建築 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion,結構設計請到 Arup 的結構大師 Cecil Balmond。
基地位於倫敦肯辛頓公園(Kensington Garden)內的蛇形藝廊(Serpentine Gallery)前院,一棟僅為期夏天三個月的臨時性展示館,白天作為咖啡館,傍晚以後則是舉辦演講、討論會、宴會等活動的建築。整個建築體就像是一個四方形的盒子,長寬18m × 18m、高4.5m,沒有柱子,以鋼板條(Steel Flat Bar)組合而成的框架所構成,看似隨機組合的框架,其實是根據將正方形一邊迴轉一邊擴大的演算法(Algorithm)規則,所形成的螺旋狀圖案,建築各部位彼此相互依存,並保持整體的平衡,展示館於三個月後拆除、出售,目前被重建於倫敦的泰晤士河畔。

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2002 by Toyo Ito with Cecil Balmond (Arup)
『Why can't all new buildings be this good? Toyo Ito's magical summer pavilion at the Serpentine Gallery is a lesson in imagination.』 Evening StandardThe Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2002 appeared to be an extremely complex random pattern that proved, upon careful examination, to derive from an algorithm of a cube that expanded as it rotated.
The numerous triangles and trapezoids formed by this system of intersecting lines were clad to be either transparent or translucent, giving a sense of infinitely repeated motion.
