Hot young Spanish architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano of SelgasCano have designed a pop-up exhibition pavilion for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's latest exhibition, Africa: Architecture, Culture, Identity. Made of low-cost materials, such as scaffold poles and plastic sheets, which the architects have jazzed up inspired by traditional sub-Saharan settlements, the pavilion is due to travel to Kenya. The show in leafy Humlebaek near Copenhagen closes at the end of September. After showing video art, the two-storey structure, which has been designed with locals' input as well as with help from MIT students, will become an educational and vaccination clinic. Meanwhile, SelgasCano's glamorous summer pavilion in London, which now graces the greensward of the Serpentine Gallery, is due to head west to Los Angeles in due course.
