This is the first camera access into a new theatre built in north London. It is the first theatre to use rooflights in the auditoriums to bring in natural light – the obvious benefits being for the technical staff to be able to work in daylight, the reduction in energy costs, the ability to use the spaces during the day for rehearsals without using loads of energy on lighting, etc.

The 2013 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, by architect Sou Fujimoto, is a metallic mesh of 27,000 bits of steel joined together to give the impression of a light, cloud-like structure. In this programme we talk to the AECOM engineers that worked alongside Fujimoto to help realise his design. We learn why the architect’s original designs had to be rapidly rationalised and how an exceedingly tight schedule ultimately dictated the final design and how it was built.
