SERPENTINE PAVILION 2011, LONDON, W2 3XA, UNITED KINGDOM, ARCHITECT MATT CLAYTON, The concept for this year?s Pavilion is the hortus conclusus a contemplative room a garden within a garden. One enters the building from the lawn and begins the transition into the central garden a place abstracted from the world of noise and traffic and the smells of London ? an interior space within which to sit to walk to observe the flowers.
