At 4D Studio Architects, we see architecture not as static form, but as a spacetime practice—a fusion of the three spatial dimensions with time as the fourth. The 2025 Serpentine Pavilion, Capsule of Time, resonates deeply with our philosophy.
This year’s pavilion explores impermanence, community, and cultural continuity—reminding us that buildings are not fixed artefacts but evolving participants in their ecosystems. Architecture must not just endure time—it must respond to it.
Exhibited alongside the work of Italian sculptor Giuseppe Penone, whose art captures the interconnectedness of body and nature across deep time, the pavilion invites us to imagine architecture as a living organism: growing, decaying, adapting.
Like Penone, we believe design must stretch beyond human lifespans and embrace change at all scales—environmental, social, biological. The Darwin Centre’s evolutionary collection reinforces this: time isn’t linear, it’s layered. It’s ecological. And it demands design that is resilient, responsive, and responsible.
At 4D Studio, we respond to real-world challenges with architecture that supports people and protects the planet—structures that change, weather, and grow with their communities.
Architecture is not just what we build. It’s how we imagine and shape our place in time.
