Minsuk Cho

Minsuk Cho is a Korean architect and designer of this year's Serpentine Pavilion.

"We have a demanding role as architects, and I think movies are a good comparison: it’s always so polarising – there are serious directors, versus blockbuster directors – but there is a way of doing both."
