Text description provided by the architects. The Serpentine Sackler Gallery consists of two distinct parts, namely the conversion of a classical 19th century brick structure - The Magazine – and a 21st century tensile structure. The Serpentine Sackler Gallery is thus - after MAXXI in Rome - the second art space where Zaha Hadid Architects have created a synthesis of old and new. The Magazine was designed as a Gunpowder Store in 1805. It comprises two raw brick barrel vaulted spaces (where the gunpowder was stored) and a lower square-shaped surrounding structure with a frontal colonnade. The building continued to be in military use until 1963. Since then Royal Parks used the building for storage. The Magazine thus remained underutilised until now. Over time, much amendment and alteration has occurred inside the historic building and its surroundings.
