I can't believe that this is England's first Gehry?! I thought every big country was required to have one? Well, in any case, it is wonderful to see a different design and I even enjoy the structure more when I read the inspiration. Go Gehry. You still got it dude.
from Serpentine website (and you can see a video of the build-time-lapse):
The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2008, which gives England the first built project by legendary architect Frank Gehry, is now open to the public.

Gehry and his team took inspiration for this year’s Pavilion from a fascinating variety of sources including the elaborate wooden catapults designed by Leonardo da Vinci as well as the striped walls of summer beach huts...
