Architecture Monday

A fun little folly tonight, in the form of the Smile.  A temporary pavilion at the London Design Festival back in 2016.  Made of cross-laminated wood as a double cantilever structure, it seems to rest, precariously balanced, in the middle of the courtyard.  As a folly it’s akin mostly to spatial art, inhabited purely for the experience and joy it brings.
