Dulwich Picture Gallery in the south of London is the world's first
purpose-built public art gallery. Founded in 1811, when Sir Francis
Bourgeois RA bequeathed his collection of old masters "for the
inspection of the public", it opened its famous building designed
by John Soane in 1817. To mark the museum's bicentenary in 2017,
Dulwich Picture Gallery commissioned a first temporary summer
pavilion on its grounds. For the second edition of the Dulwich
Pavilion in 2019, the commission was awarded to London-based
architects Dingle Price and Alex Gore in collaboration with British
artist Yinka Ilori. This elegant, large-size book documents this
piece of built poetry in a series of striking, atmospheric
photographs by Sophie Roycroft. The concise essays by Job Floris
and Sumayya Vally situate the project within a social, political,
and cultural context, complemented by technical details and
selected plans and drawings on and inside the book's cover.
