hmm I think tradition is important on such event like expo-they showed it alrght but I begin to think the building itself is quite boring and the only trick is the pattern. despite the fact I’m polsih I must say they could do better.

[...] Poland Pavillion WWA Architects have created a conceptual design for Shanghai Expo 2010. With the exhibition housing pavilions from countries all over the world, each pavilion must provide a strong aesthetic message to attract visitors and then provide insight to the country. WWA’s pavilion creates a distinct stylistic motif taken from the folk-art paper cut-out to create a “memorable cultural ideogram” (read more…) [...]

yes,i agree that they are different…but it seems to me that in terms of form,facade…they are more similar than different :) i’m not sugesting that it’s a copy/paste architecture

pedja,

It might have some similar “atmosphere”, but at the end they are very different.

I agree with Rick & Timothy, doily façades like this leave me cold. I think Marcel Wanders kick-started this fussy decorative trend. Not a fan.

Is there any way that architects can develop concepts without the use of “mapping”, “lattice”, and other funky tools? Yes, a nice building mass, but where is the architecture in this? Would it be a good project without the opacity maps? All in all a very appealing project; looks like my grandmother made it from wool-knitting (sure, i get it, that was the point…).

true, the lattice/motif is nothing new. but the project is spatially dynamic and provocative. lifting the facade and ramping to the roof are both strong and inviting, as an expo pavilion should be. “nice proyect” to quote odris.
