由法國建築師 Jean Nouvel 設計的 2010年 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion已經於日前關閉且拆除，目前人們心中最想知道的便是，誰會來設計 2011年 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 呢？ 誰會在2011年夏天佔據倫敦建築圈的所有目光呢？答案便是---獲頒 2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize 的瑞士建築師 Peter Zumthor ！
位於倫敦肯辛頓公園內的蛇型藝廊（Serpentine Gallery) 每年夏天會出現三個月的臨時建築(Serpentine Gallery Pavilion)，他們請來一位國際大師，在藝廊旁的公園草地上，設計一棟臨時建築，做為夏天的展館或聚會場所。
這項建築實驗計畫，迄今已邀得扎哈哈帝(Zaha Hadid)、萊比斯金(Daniel Libeskind)、伊東豐雄(Toyo Ito)、MVRDV、尼梅耶(Oscar Niemeyer )、庫哈斯(Rem Koolhaas)、法蘭克蓋瑞(Frank O. Gehry)、妹島和世+西澤立衛(Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa)等建築師一試身手，其中八位得過建築界最高榮譽普立茲克獎(Pritzker Architecture Prize)，Peter Zumthor 將是第九位來此一顯身手的普立茲克獎得獎建築師。
令人相當期待，Peter Zumthor 究竟會做出什麼呢？（搓手～～）

Zumthor to design Serpentine Pavilion
14 October, 2010 | By Richard Waite
The AJ can exclusively reveal that celebrated Swiss architect Peter Zumthor is to design next year’s annual Serpentine Pavilion in London’s Hyde Park
The Serpentine Gallery, which only commissions architects who are yet to build in the UK, has moved quickly to appoint the Pritzker Prize winner before he completes his house in Devon (pictured).
Zumthor’s ‘Secular Retreat’ near the village of Chivelstone, for writer Alain de Botton’s not-for-profit organisation Living Architecture, is due to finish in late 2011 (AJ 16.04.09).
It is understood Zumthor has been in the frame for the pavilion for some time and initial proposals resemble ‘a big concrete block with a garden in it’ – though the design is expected to evolve over the coming months.
Other architects to have designed pavilions include Frank Gehry in 2008, Rem Koolhaas in 2006, Oscar Niemeyer in 2003 and Stirling Prize winner Zaha Hadid in 2000.
Zumthor submitted his Devon house for planning last week. It is one of a series of homes – designed by firms including NORD, MVRDV and Hopkins Architects – drawn up for Living Architecture, which will let them out for holidays.
