The Shanghai World Expo is more about design pyrotechnics then technological innovation. Most countries who are serious about their participation have pulled out all the stops to create show-stopping pavilions which look stunning from the outside.
Here I would like to share with you my pictures of some of the Asian pavilions.
India Pavilion. It has a beautiful planted dome. The planning and form is quite Classical - kind of like a temple.
The Nepal Pavilion. Quite intricate and exotic. The open dome-shaped structure in the middle is very interesting.
The Thai Pavilion. It looked just like a Thai Palace. Exotic dancers entertain the crowd while they wait to enter the pavilion.
Now for something completely different. The Japan Pavilion. The Aliens have landed ! The pavilion is covered in ETFE - a high-tech plastic. It is given a pinkish hue which makes the whole building look a bit organic. Looks like it came right out of the pages of an anime - strangely fitting for a Japan Pavilion.
