Designed by NAÇO Architecture, ’s Pavilion for Shanghai World Expo 2010 will feature a movie that will take visitors on a lap of Monaco Grand Prix and show a luxury ecological car prototype of the new Venturi Volage.

The 2,000-square-meter pavilion will invite visitors to explore the evolution of casr, city transformation and KERS system from Monaco Grand Prix’s beginning in 1929 in a special area dedicated to Formula One. The Monaco leg is the only city in the world to have a circuit inside it. Upon entering the pavilion, visitors will see a six-minute animation movie “Monaco, a rock for eternity” exclusively produced for the Expo. An extraordinary adventure will be unfolded, which will send visitors back to prehistoric times.

The cinema can accommodate 250 people and will be equipped with a high definition screen of 56 meters. A walk along typical old streets of Monaco will allow visitors to discover the city and its flora and fauna. More images after the break.

I just went to the firm website. I have never heard of the firm before seeing this post, so I am glad that I was able to stumble upon this. This is a strong design for the Monaco Pavilion. I personally like the idea of using audio/video to work with creating the experience of a space. The firm’s work that they have on their website is brilliant. I like what they are doing, and I can agree with their design philosophies.

There seems to be a misunderstanding as to whom realised this pavilion.

Naço was solely in charge of the facade !!!

All the interior scenography, décor and content of the pavilion was elaborated by the French Events Agency DDB Live and the french interior designers Le Gall & Polianoff.

The general contractor in charge of building and supervising all aspects of construction is SYMA.
