To coincide with the Serpentine Pavilion 2023 designed by Lina Ghotmeh — Architecture (9 June – 29 October 2023), Serpentine has co-published a catalogue with Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König. Conceived in close collaboration with Lina Ghotmeh the catalogue, designed by Les Graphiquants, echoes and expands on the ideas that are central to the architect‘s practice. The publication brings together texts and visual interventions by esteemed contributors from the world of architecture, art, photography and fiction who form part of Ghotmeh’s work ecosystem. To showcase the design process of the Pavilion, the catalogue also includes a series of images, sketches and drawings from the research wall in Ghotmeh’s studio. These spreads are juxtaposed with images of plants and the natural environment surrounding the Pavilion, illustrating the connection between architecture and nature. The publication also includes an extensive interview between the architect and Hans Ulrich Obrist, which introduces the practice and traces the research, development and ideas behind the Pavilion.
