In this exclusive video produced by Dezeen, Sumayya Vally of Counterspace explains how her design for this year's Serpentine Pavilion references the architecture of London's migrant communities.
She described the pavilion as "a puzzle of many different elements" informed by buildings used by migrant groups across London.
In addition, five architectural "fragments" have been dotted around the city to bring the project directly to local communities.
Vally, director of Johannesburg practice Counterspace, is the 20th and youngest architect to have been commissioned by the Serpentine Gallery for its annual architecture pavilion, which was unveiled this morning in London's Kensington Gardens.
"I became really interested in places with a history significant to migration - small spaces that birthed community and that have held forms of cultural production over time," Vally explained in the video.

It looks like an extruded version of Herzog & de Meuron Serpentine Pavilion

Somebody just cant get Herzog and de Meuron Serpentine out of their heads. She has all the current social speech issues on point, but its basically a post modern exhibition of historical texture and structural beams. That is all nice and dandy, but still a copy of Herzog.

Hertzog and De meurons serpentine was based on using elements of the previous serpentine pavilions to create something archeological in a sense... Sumaiyahs Design is about using elements relating to spaces of community and culture... These 2 are miles apart conceptually.. Spatially as well, Herzog and de meurons serpentine was about being embedded in a low comforting cavelike landscape, whereas Sumaiyahs is about high volumes and celebratory hall like spaces.... Really the only thing that's similar is that they used cork.
