About the World Expo

The British Pavilion named "Creative Pavilion" consists of a large number of tentacles extending in all directions, each with a tiny colored light source at the top, which looks "like a luminous box". All building materials are recyclable, and the carbon emission of the whole building will be zero; The Spanish Pavilion is woven by thousands of wickers, which looks like a basket with a unique shape when viewed from above. The interior of the exhibition hall is mainly made of bamboo and translucent paper, and the top uses solar energy to achieve energy-saving effect; The curtains outside the Swiss Pavilion are mainly soybean fibers, which can generate electricity and degrade naturally. The top floor of the exhibition hall will be covered with green grass and dandelions. The audience will take the cable car to the top and smell the dandelion at close range. The French Pavilion named "Perceive the City" looks like it floats on the horizontal plane, which complements the Huangpu River. The scheme applies high technology in energy, and the exhibition hall will realize energy self-sufficiency; The newly announced Finland Pavilion has a beautiful name "Curling", which looks like an island standing in the water from the outside. Denmark Pavilion is called "City of Dreams". The pavilion looks like two overlapping and inclined rings. Outside the museum, a number of bicycles with various purposes will be placed on the Sheung Wan ramp for free use by tourists. In the center of the ring is a sunken mini seaside plaza. Visitors can play in the water, or have a picnic on the lawn around the square, feel the comfortable life in Denmark and interpret the fairy tale life in Denmark. It is said that they will move their "national treasure"-the original mermaid sculpture to Shanghai for exhibition.

In addition to the foreign self-built pavilions mentioned above, some buildings in China, as the host, are also very distinctive. The appearance of the China National Pavilion takes the concept of "the crown of the East" as the theme, and it is in the shape of a bucket arch more than 60 meters high. Its design concept can be summarized as: "the crown of the East, prosperous China, the granary in the world, enriching the people in the world". The China Pavilion consists of a national pavilion and a regional pavilion. The spatial position and orientation of these two parts respectively reflect the understanding of the relationship between "heaven" and "earth" in eastern philosophy. The National Pavilion is a "sky", and the sculpture subject "the crown of the East" stands tall, forming an open and towering trend; The regional pavilion is the "ground", which extends below the national pavilion like a pedestal, forming a solid supporting state. This atmospheric and ethnic permanent building is in sharp contrast with the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, a landmark building of Shanghai style in Pudong.
