When the grandchildren of Dwight D. Eisenhower approved a compromise design last week, it seemed likely that Frank Gehry’s memorial to the 34th president would finally get built—perhaps even in time for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, on June 6, 2019.
Part promenade, part amphitheater, Frank Gehry’s summer pavilion for London’s Serpentine Gallery, due to open in June, looks set to be one of the more elaborate and vivacious commissions in the gallery’s annual series. It marks Gehry’s first project in London and the first time he has collaborated with his son Samuel, who is part of the Gehry Partners design team. Arup will review the design, materials, and structure.
The Serpentine Gallery, in London, has chosen Frank Gehry to design this year’s summertime pavilion. Gehry is the first American to be commissioned to design the structure, which he will realize in four months for a June launch.
