This week on Dezeen, the Serpentine Pavilion by Japanese architect Junya Ishigami was unveiled in London, but the event was overshadowed by the unexpected resignation of Serpentine CEO Yana Peel.
Built to resemble "a hill made out of rocks" Ishigami's pavilion has a roof made up of 61 tonnes of Cumbrian slate. It is held up by 106 thin columns in a grid pattern.
The architect told Dezeen his aim was to "make the architecture part of the landscape rather than making it an independent building".
