This year’s AA summer pavilion will be a complex interlocking timber structure, dubbed the “Swoosh”.
The winning scheme, conceived by AA student Valeria Garcia, will be built outside the AA’s Bedford Square home in June.
The jury, chaired by tutor Charles Walker, included Larry Malcic, head of design at HOK, and Alex de Rijke of dRMM. De Rijke described the scheme as a “three-dimensional poem”.
Walker said: “It was a close competition, but this one was chosen for its architectural merits, and because it was the most beautiful and displayed an innovative use of timber.”
Twelve students at the school compete every year to mastermind the summer pavilion. The project is a collaboration with Arup, Finnforest, HOK and media partner BD.
