Japanese architect Junya Ishigami has agreed to pay all staff working on his design for the Serpentine Pavilion, following a row over unpaid internships at his studio.
The move came after the Serpentine Gallery, which bestows the prestigious commission each year, told Junya Ishigami + Associates that unpaid staff would not be allowed to work on the project.
"We do not allow any unpaid internships or positions on any project at the Serpentine," a spokesperson for the gallery told Dezeen.
"Junya Ishigami + Associates are now aware of the Serpentine's policy that all positions working on the Serpentine Pavilion 2019 must be paid."

A row erupted last week after it was revealed that Ishigami's Tokyo studio has been seeking unpaid interns. Designer Adam Nathaniel Furman first brought the issue to light as part of his Instagram #archislavery campaign against the culture of unpaid internships in architecture.
Serpentine confirms architects are paid a fee
Yesterday the London gallery told Dezeen it was "in touch" with the architect. Today it confirmed that the architecture practice had agreed to abide by the rule.
The gallery has also clarified its policy regarding payment of architects that design the pavilion.
"The architect is paid a fee in line with artists in our exhibition programmes," it said, adding that travel costs are also paid.
