LONDON — The Mexican architect Frida Escobedo has been named as this year’s designer of the Serpentine Pavilion, a temporary summer structureerected here each year in front of the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park. The Pavilion, which will be open from June 15 to Oct. 7, is both a major tourist attraction and one of the world’s most prestigious architectural commissions, seen as a reliable predictor of emerging international talent.

Ms. Escobedo, 38, is the youngest architect to have been commissioned for the project, the Serpentine said, and is also the first solo woman to undertake it since the 2000 inaugural pavilion, designed by Zaha Hadid
