The Garden Marathon Brunch in London

Together with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Julia Peyton-Jones, DLD hosted the Garden Marathon Brunch in London at the Serpentine Gallery Marquee on Saturday, 15 October 2011.

The event is directly inspired by the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2011, designed by Peter Zumthor.
