Art Olympics Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei – Serpentine Gallery Pavilion The design team behind Beijing’s Olympic bird’s nest stadium took on the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion design as well. The project took the form of architectural archaeology. The team excavated to groundwater level, creating a well that collects rainwater. As they dug down, they revealed elements of past pavilions—11 in total. Telephone cables and physical fragments and cork lined the trenches they dug, with the roof of the piece covered in water.
