The Serpentine is celebrating 25 years of the Pavilion, which is by now one of the most loved institutions for Londoners every summer. In fact, the awarding of the yearly commission to build the Pavilion is global news and its unveiling one of the hottest moments in the arts calendar.

Sat in a room in Serpentine South, while out the window teams of builders and gardeners are busy making the final touches to her dazzling Pavilion, hers is a cool head.
