MPavilion

What does it take to commission an architectural pavilion and create it from scratch? This talk traces the vision behind MPavilion, from its initial concept and funding to its innovative design. Hear from MPavilion’s patron Naomi Milgrom—whose foundation helped make it a reality—alongside acclaimed architect Sean Godsell, who designed the inaugural 2014/15 pavilion, and Serpentine Galleries director Julia Peyton-Jones, who conceived a similar architectural pavilion commission program in London in 2000. They appear in conversation with MPavilion creative director Robert Buckingham and senior curator Natalie King.
