Set to open on June 11 to mark World Play Day, the Pavilion will be located next to Serpentine South in Kensington Gardens, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London<\/a>. Developed with Pablo Wheldon and Cong Ding, the Pavilion is a collaboration between Serpentine, the LEGO Group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/royal-parks\/page\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Royal Parks<\/a>, and CONSUL. The project builds on Serpentine&#8217;s broader efforts to connect architecture, design, and public engagement through temporary installations in the park.<\/p>\n<p>The structure invites visitors of all ages to explore play as a spatial and creative experience. It incorporates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/lego\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LEGO<\/a> bricks into the design and creates an immersive environment shaped by color, form, and movement. Openings in the walls, some forming slides, tunnels, or stage-like spaces, encourage physical interaction and multiple points of entry. From the outside, perforated and scooped surfaces reveal glimpses of the interior, offering a sense of openness while preserving elements of discovery.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1028969\/peter-cook-designs-play-pavilion-for-serpentine-in-collaboration-with-the-lego-group\/67f76684080a9a0186694d9e-peter-cook-designs-play-pavilion-for-serpentine-in-collaboration-with-the-lego-group-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Peter Cook Designs Play Pavilion for Serpentine in Collaboration with the LEGO Group - Image 2 of 3\" data-nr-picture-id=\"67f76684080a9a0186694d9e\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1028969\/peter-cook-designs-play-pavilion-for-serpentine-in-collaboration-with-the-lego-group\/67f76684080a9a0186694d9e-peter-cook-designs-play-pavilion-for-serpentine-in-collaboration-with-the-lego-group-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peter-cook-designs-play-pavilion-for-serpentine-in-collaboration-with-the-lego-group_1.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>Exterior render of the Play Pavilion.
