Peter Cook has unveiled his design for the Play Pavilion, a colorful children's structure made with Lego bricks, which will be built next to the Serpentine Gallery in London. Launching on June 11, coinciding with World Play Day, the pavilion features a geodesic dome and inviting Lego murals. Designed to encourage exploration, it includes crawling holes, a slide, and a performance space. Cook aims to create a friendly, mysterious environment that engages creativity and play, attracting both children and adults to be involved in interactive experiences.
The Play Pavilion tantalizes by being bright, curvaceous, and strange, and on closer inspection, the acrylic skin of the enclosure erupts into delightful and inventive murals that burst out into Lego brick-built elements.
Entering the Play Pavilion, mysterious stalagmite-like masts reveal the intricacy and creative potential of the space. Then you see walls with long runs of Lego baseplates, with visitors invited to play and create.
The Play Pavilion is an opportunity to remind the public that architecture can be an interactive and engaging experience, inspiring imagination in both children and adults.
With its vibrant colors, unique shapes, and playful interactions, the Play Pavilion emphasizes the importance of creativity and exploration in architectural design, particularly for younger audiences.
