Nothing says welcome to expo 2010 more than the
Chinese Pavillion. Could be seen from most places around the site, shows you how big-ass its built. And how many Chinamen they needed to build it.
Corporate bodies also took part in the Expo, and most of their pavilions are built on the other side of the site, away from the country pavillions. Smart usage of scaffolding were used as an exterior shell which houses the spaces within.
The
Serbian Pavillion is sandwiched between most of the European powerhouses, but the colourful and playful exterior makes it stick out like a sore thumb, in a good way, that is.
Designed by Sir Norman Foster, the
UAE Pavillion resembles the sand dunes of the Arabic desert. Plated with dark gold plates, the exterior is freaking reflective and blinding in the glaring sunlight.
The
Polish Pavillion boasts a facade which resembles the traditional Polish papercutting art. Very interesting to see at night, during which purple neons shine from within.
The
South Korean Pavillion is probably Asia's best contender in this expo. Made up of symbols, symbols, and more symbols. The symbols eventually form a BIGGER SYMBOL by themselves, making up the whole structure that way.
The
French Pavillion is all things french: Proud, elegant, neat, even snobbish at times. Prettiest facade arguably for me.
The Danish Pavillion. Almost resembles a Danish pastry to me, minus the holes. You get to cycle up and down the lanes provided inside the pavillion. Wicked. To imagine it as a self-supporting structure is mind-blowing.
Yeap the Spanish Pavilion. Screw the Spanish, they are like, owning every other nation. Made from rattan with multiple shades and patterns, creating an incredibly, almost unreal wavy structure.
