New Serpentine Pavilion

This hedgehog-that-met-with-an-accident is Frank Gehry & Son's model for this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London, the ninth in the series. Here is conspicuous consumption at its silliest. Hyacinth Bucket - that's pronounced Boo-shay, you know - would be proud. How to waste the planet's resources without really trying! Where are our eco warriors? Come on, lads, put a stop to this waste of valuable trees. (Click the title link for another view and for past pavilions. The last two were truly spectacular pieces of science-fiction.)
