British architect Peter Cook has introduced a look at the new Play Pavilion made for children and decorated in Lego bricks. It is set to be built by the Serpentine Gallery in London with a bright orange build. It is set to open on June 11th aligned with World Play Day. The pavilion is topped with a geodesic dome roof with rounded walls decorated in Lego murals.

Cook explains, “The Play Pavilion is an opportunity to remind the public that architecture can be cheerful as well as focused, with a degree of mystery on first sight. We can see glimpses of people moving around inside, with children appearing from mystery places. Then, on entering, all is revealed. Cheerful architecture takes you beyond the day-to-day predictability of cause-and-effect. Just as in the tradition of pantomime, it sends you away with a smile on your face.”
