Hong Kong Pavilion of Expo 2010, Exhibition pavilion at World Expo Site, Shanghai, China.
Description
The Hong Kong Pavilion was an exhibition building at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 site. Its ceiling and floor featured reflective membranes that created an optical illusion of expanded space.
History
The design was created by architects Ida & Billy, who won a 2008 competition against 80 other entries. The building was then constructed for the 2010 World Expo and became part of the international pavilions on the fairgrounds.
Culture
Three distinct levels within the pavilion present Hong Kong's infrastructure development, creative exchanges through digital displays, and environmental sustainability projects.
Practical
The pavilion was designed to handle large crowds during the exposition, spanning about 2000 square meters. Visiting early in the day helps you avoid long lines, particularly on weekends and holidays.
Did you know?
The exterior was wrapped in a polyethylene non-woven textile that shifted its texture and light patterns as wind moved across it. This material responded dynamically to weather conditions, creating different visual impressions throughout the day.
