They should have chosen some non-political colour. Or no colour at all. Now it's just a communist shadow over the site. It looks like many things, for its fundamental idea.

I won't say is it bad nor good, but if I were the designer I might find some new gag for my own country expo pavillion.

Looks like what Arata Isozaki did in the 60s But Isozaki's idea was to provide an alternative typology for housing. According to Isozaki, those tree trunks are inhabitable. http://workjes.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/c-in-the-air.jpg While for He JingTang, I guess it was just to mimmick an old element in Chinese Architecture and scale it up for the expo... http://www.yingchengj.com/jpg/14.jpg Still, the thing holds the roof. Not really a new design in any way but I guess his idea was to make something BIG with local (and here historical) technology... successful huh? You can argue the origin. Who did what first, or what looks like what. Chinese did the dougong 2000 years ago. But the problem is, why still showing it some 2000 years later? yeah. Looks like what Arata Isozaki did in the 60s
