over the course of a few years I was commissioned by Zaha Hadid architects to capture the construction of the new sackler wing. The project was based around the old munitions store right in the centre of hyde park, the building was almost completed re-purposed with great care being taken to protect and preserve the existing historical structure. 

the final stage was the erection of a white tensile fabric pavilion on the side of the existing structure. this is held up by three stiletto like metal supports.
