Temporary fabric structure decorates gallery lawn

In early July, the lawn next to the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Covent Garden neighborhood featured a temporary fabric structure designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid and Patrick Schumacher, partner in her namesake firm. More than 5m tall, the structure consisted of three identical fabric structures, or “parasols,” arrayed around a central point. Each parasol progressed sculpturally from a small, articulated base to a large cantilevered diamond shape.
