Studio Clam explores the architecture of BIG’s Serpentine Pavilion in a new app

A new app designed by Barcelona based Studio Clam allows users to learn more about this year’s Serpentine Pavilion, designed by architect BIG. The app has a clear interface that explains the different processes behind the construction of the structure, its operation and relationship with the environment. Users can explore the components that make up the temporary structure, currently installed in London’s Hyde park, and explains the concepts and processes that each piece assembled to create the sculptural pavilion. The app, developed as a personal project by the studio as they are such big fans of the architect, allows users to move around a 3D model of the buildings and focus on aspects of the design, such as the continuous, undulating seating, to find out how they are fundamental to the concept as a whole.
