on saturday, september 28th, the serpentine sackler gallery designed by zaha hadid will open to the public. the renovation project has seen the transformation of the magazine, a former 1805 gunpowder store positioned a short 7-minute walk from the serpentine gallery, on the north side of the serpentine bridge.
the serpentine’s second exhibition space in kensington gardens, the new 900 square metres expanse’s programs will include an additional gallery, restaurant and social zone and is set to be london’s new cultural destination.
named after dr. mortimer and dame theresa sackler, whose foundation has made the project possible through the largest single gift received by the serpentine gallery in its 43-year history, has realized the grade II listed building as suitable for the public use for the first time in its 208-year history.

restored in partnership with the royal parks, zaha hadid has envisioned a dynamic, white undulating and peaking roof top–a light and transparent extension–the contemporary structure compliments, rather than competes with the original neo-classical architecture. the ‘serpentine sackler gallery’ is zaha hadid’s first permanent project in central london, and is a continuation of the relationship between the cultural institution and hadid which started back in 2000 when she was the inaugural architect to create the serpentine gallery pavilion. the landscaping around the new gallery will be designed and planted by arabella lennox-boyd.

چون در فروشگاه پدرم مشغول به كار هستم تصميم داشتم بعنوان خدمات جنبي به مشتريان و سازندگان ساختماني و مديران پروژههاي عمراني ، خدمات خاصي براي استفاده از نوآوريهاي ساختماني بدهم ( زيرا ما بصورت موروثي جزء فروشندههاي لوازم بهداشتي ساختمان و مصالح هستيم ) ولي اينكار نياز به برنامه و مديريت پيچيده اي داشت كه مرا از انجام وظايف ديگرم در فروشگاه باز ميداشت لذا تلاش كردم با راه اندازي يك گروه اينترنتي به مخاطبين خودم آخرين دستاوردهاي طراحي و انواع ديزاين را ارائه بدهم اما مشكلات فراوان ( خصوصا" نوع اطلاع رساني ) اجازه نميداد ولي در این وبلاگ سعي ميكنيم بعد از ناكامي در ايجاد گروه اينترنتي ( بدليل مشكلات مربوط به خودش ) آخرين نمونه هاي طراحيها و ديزاين جمع آوري شده از فضاي نت را براي شما عزيزان قرار بدهيم تا زحمت وبگردي را برايتان به حداقل برسانم در حال حاضر به تنهايي اقدام ميكنم اما تلاش دارم اينكار را با همكاري بعضي ديگر از دوستان به حد كمال برسانم به هر روي اگر كاستي در انجام اين وظيفه مشاهده نموديد ، ما را از راهنمائيهاي خودتان بي نصيب نگذاريد
