Shanghai Expo 2010 Draws to a Close

By — Filed under: Videos , , ,
 

Sadly,  Shanghai’s Expo 2010 ended yesterday after 184 exciting days.  Throughout the course of the exhibition, over 73 million people experienced great pavilions from countries across the world and we’ve brought you coverage of projects ranging from videos to project descriptions to photographs.  In these past months, we’ve shared a few of our reader Seppe’s videos with you (check out his German Pavilion, UK Pavilion, and Denmark Pavilion clips, previously featured on AD) and today we’re sharing his latest bit on the Swiss Pavilion.

The Expo, which opened on May 1st, allowed visitors to experience a taste of different cultures all arranged within the Expo’s 5.28-square-kilometer site.  From the beginning, the Expo was a hit.  Thousands flocked to the site on a daily basis, with the largest daily attendance hitting more than 1.03 million visitors on October 16th – breaking the record attendance set at the Osaka Expo back in 1970 for 844,000 on a single day.   As Yang Jian reported for the Expo, “Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan said the Expo has made and the world come closer together, and that a more open, inclusive and culturally advanced that steadily moves forward will join other countries to usher in an ever brighter future for all.”

Only five structures will remain (the China Pavilion, the Culture Center, the Expo Center, the Theme Pavilions and Expo Boulevard) and with all the dazzling lights, amazing forms, and elaborate material skins dismantled, the site will now become a cultural, business and commercial center.

What about UK pavilion?… Will it be on site, or remuved… or demolished…?
