This unique publication accompanies the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2010 designed by renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. The publication is conceived and designed by Nouvel, and provides a unique insight into his working process. Featuring essays by Paul Virilio and Samantha Hardingham, as well as an interview with Nouvel by Serpentine Gallery Director Julia Peyton-Jones and Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist, this catalogue is sumptuously produced and lavishly illustrated. Nouvel has also contributed two texts to this publication, which illuminate his overall practice as well as the inspiration behind his design for this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion.

Jean Nouvel hat den diesjährigen Sommerpavillon für die Serpentine Gallery entworfen. Der von ihm selbst gestaltete Katalog gewährt tiefe Einblicke in die Denk- und Arbeitsweise von Frankreichs Ausnahmearchitekt und verdeutlicht auf eindrucksvolle Weise, wie die Idee entstand, den Pavillon in eine "Sonnemaschine" zu verwandeln.
