AD Round Up: Shanghai Pavilions Part IV
It’s getting closer and closer. Shanghai World Expo 2010 is around the corner and we want to remind you some pavilions we’ve been featuring in the post. Check our fourth selection after the break!
French Pavillion
Jacques Ferrier Architects were selected to design the French Pavillion at Shanghai Expo 2010. Their project ‘The Sensual City’ is a simple building with a big style French garden inside. Surrounded by water it appears to be floating. The 6000 square meter pavillion will use advanced building materials and environmental protection technology including solar panels on top of the roof (read more…)

China Pavillion
The Chinese Pavillion for the Shanghai World Expo 2010 is already in construction. Being the country that hosts the World Expo, the pavillion designed by Chinese architect He Jingtang stands in the central location of the Expo site at 63 meters tall, which triple the height of any other pavillion. The main structure of the China Pavillion, “The Crown of the East,” has a distinctive roof, made of traditional dougong or brackets, which has a history dating back more than 2,000 years (read more…)

The facade of the pavilion will be made from a combination of palm oil and plastic, which will be recycled for other constructions after Expo (read more…)
sorry, but i’ve got to say it. all the shanghai pavillions that i’ve seen are horrible. What’s up with this fair?!
by far, the worst architecture i’ve ever seen.
Some cool ideas, but I wonder if the designers still have the guts of declaring their pavillions “sustainable”.
If I had to resume the expo in one word, i’d choose “tacky”.

I’m attending this in August, I look forward to seeing these in the flesh.
I hope they stand up in context.
What context would that be? Eachother?
Sure, In the context of their surroundings – Which I’m sure many of them won’t do.
But also in scale. Renderings only show so much.
BORING
i’m totally agree – what’s wrong with this expo?

Oh, the Malaysian pavilion is hideous!!
Instead of blaming, come on site ! you will probably change your comments…
Don’t forget to not consider so much architecture from picture. Problem of dimension, lights, atmosphere, context…
