Frank Gehry interview in Gabion: It's Not Just Plop
As for keeping the weather out - summer storms traditionally greet the unveiling of the Serpentine pavilions, and they usually leak, sometimes spectacularly - well, Frank asked about that. "I said - what about keeping the rain out? Julia (Peyton-Jones, director of the Serpentine) said, no problem. Then she phoned me later and said - 'but Frank, I have one little problem. It rains a lot'". He raises his eyes heavenwards and makes a strangulated noise of frustration. "This one is meant to leak. Everyone should bring an umbrella."
