This is made from glass-fibre material used to create the main woof and body of the building has been manipulated to the fluid shapes desired by the architect.
Textiles are being applied more and more often into architecture to create new and interesting textures. Hadid’s extension uses materials, shape and form that contrast with the gallery’s original classical building, making the addition of this new structure a transformative one.
Zaha Hadid’s architecture is counted as taking the old to the new because as you can see Hadid’s architecture is a more modern part of the Serpetine Sackler Gallery.
