Lina Ghotmeh Reveals Her Inspiration Behind The 2023 Serpentine Pavilion

Architect Lina Ghotmeh discusses, shares, and reveals the inspiration, the structure, and design of the Pavilion, titled À table – a French call to sit down together at a table to engage and participate in dialogue while sharing a meal. As such, the interior of the Pavilion features a concentric table along the perimeter, inviting us to convene, sit down, think, share and celebrate exchanges that enable new relationships to form. Considering food as an expression of care, the Pavilion’s design is a space for grounding and reflection on our relationship to land, nature and environment.
