I'd spotted this from across the lake in Hyde Park yesterday but didn't have time to investigate, or a functioning camera, so I walked past today to get a closer look...
Quote from the Serpentine Gallery's web site:
"The Serpentine Pavilion 2006 is co-designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas and innovative structural designer Cecil Balmond.
The centrepiece of the design is a spectacular ovoid-shaped inflatable canopy that floats above the Gallery's lawn. Made from translucent material, the structure will be illuminated from within at night. The canopy will be raised into the air or lowered to cover the amphitheatre below according to the weather."
So now you know!
(Aren't you feeling more clever already?)
