Pavilion e!

A temporary pavilion addressed to contemporary living and environmental issues will be introduced to the 6 months of exhibition at Shanghai expo 2010. To serve this global event and city festival, the building first evolves from ground forming an undulating surface forming a covered city electronic plaza. By mirroring this undulated surface vertically, 3 large exhibition halls are embraced by both surfaces, allowing mega scale hologram of environmental information and indoor entertainment, as well as creating a hilly-topo of roof eco-garden. An outdoor loop of escalators and corridors crosses between ground level and roof garden allowing audience to explore between city electronic plaza and roof eco garden, as well as exhibition halls. The building surface is wrapped by plants not only to prevent from Shanghai summer heat, but also creating an emerging image while plants grow into blossom. A mini- sprinkler irrigation system will reduce outdoor temperature and generate a foggy building appearance. During this six months, the building will engage with the city, eventually merge into our memory and emotion, expanding our vision towards our world, future, and our lives.
