UNZIPPED | BIG ARCHITECTS & WESTBANK
Description provided by BIG Architects. Bjarke Ingels’ critically acclaimed 2016 Serpentine Pavilion, dubbed the “unzipped wall”, is being re-assembled in Toronto and opening in September 2018 as the centrepiece of a new exhibit titled “Unzipped”.
The temporary Pavilion made of 1802 stacked fibreglass boxes welcomed a record number of visitors during its 2016 run in London’s Hyde Park and was acquired by Westbank shortly after. The Pavilion will now be the centrepiece of the new exhibition at King and Brant, which will serve as an architectural showcase by day and a destination for unique programming, dialogue, and events by night. It will remain in place until the end of November 2018.
