I closely studied the spatial qualities of Frida Escobedo’s Serpentine Pavilion, focusing on how it operates as an enclosed courtyard that is at once intimate and porous. I was particularly interested in the way the latticed concrete walls filter light, air, and views, creating shifting patterns of shadow and a gradient between interior and exterior rather than a hard boundary. The pavilion’s alignment to the site and the use of a mirrored canopy and shallow pool to register time, reflection, and movement also informed my thinking about how subtle geometries and surfaces can choreograph the visitor’s experience.
