Description

With the theme of "Oriental Crown" to express the spirit and qualities of Chinese culture, the design idea can be described as "crown of the East, a prosperous China, a barn of grains for the whole world, well-off people." It is 63m high, with overhanging floors looking like a city sculpture, being a landmark of the pavilion. The regional pavilion is 14 m high, spreading horizontally, as if to extend the grains of city, which serves as the solid base of the construction and the space for city public activities.
The pavilion absorbed the laws for building traditional Chinese cities, the grains of composition and the framework system of traditional constructions and the features of bracket model to make up its shape. Using the execution of the modern three-dimensional composition of interlocking, a cubic spatial model system with a modular figure of 2.7 m closely structured and over-hanging floors is thus composed.

This system looks majestic as a whole with a sense of overwhelming power and meets the requirements of exhibition space as well as of the mechanic taste of modem engineering and technology.
