SHANGHAI expo 2010

Really wish i can go to this shanghai expo 2010 as i heard it is extraordinary this year.xD

I love Poland Pavilion the most out of the other pavilions although each of them are unique in their way.

The Poland Pavilion is compsed of three concepts: Human, creativity and the city. As a perfect examle of the Polish architecture, it mirrors the combination of modernity and folk art, representing the creativity and imaginatin of Poland.

The design of the Poland Pavilion, appearing to be a folded paper box, is inspired by its folk art: paper cut-outs. During daytime, the exhibition hall will be filled with light filtering through paper-cutting patterns; at night, it will shine with different colors and leave a deep impression on its visitors.

Pavilion Highlights-

Highlight 1: Irregular Exterior Covered with Flowery Cut-outs

The Poland Pavilion has an abstract and irregular exterior covered with flowery cut-outs designed to reflect Polish folk art (paper cut-outs). Sunlight can enter the hall through cracks in the walls. When dusk falls, the pavilion will shine with different colors that will change as the light outside changes and penetrates the paper-cutting designs.

Highlight 2: Flexible Exhibition Area

In addition to the folded "paper cut-out panel", the pavilion will also create geometrical structures inside. The exhibition area is creative and flexible enough to be divided into several sections for small expositions, concerts and shops. Lighting in the main exhibition hall will create rich lighting effects while the inner walls can be used to project a film about the Polish social life. People-friendly designs and facilities are everywhere in the pavilion

Highlight 3: Piano Concert on Chopin

The year 2010 will be the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederic Chopin, one of the greatest composers and pianists of Poland. A piano concert on Chopin will be held each day in the center square and music hall of the pavilion to commemorate the Polish musician. Visitors will be able to enjoy the concert while tasting traditional Polish cuisine.

Highlight 4: Eco-friendly design

It will also be a "green" pavilion saving energy to the fullest extent, and protecting the environment by pollution abatement so as to provide visitors with a healthy, comfortable and highly efficient pavillion.

Don u Think it's a BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!xD
