As part of a broader interest in contemporary architectural experimentation, this project involved the 3D documentation of the Serpentine Pavilion 2024, designed by Seoul-based architect Minsuk Cho and his firm Mass Studies. The pavilion’s dynamic form — made up of multiple distinct zones and roof typologies — was digitally captured using high-resolution photogrammetry and laser scanning.
The goal was to preserve a faithful digital record of the structure in its temporary setting, enabling future access to its spatial and material qualities after the pavilion is dismantled. This kind of documentation contributes to the long-term archiving of ephemeral architecture and supports architectural research. This digital record stands as both archive and artifact, offering an alternative way of experiencing and studying the pavilion long after its physical presence has faded.
