Construction finished yesterday on the main structure of the United Arab Emirates' pavilion for next year's World Expo - in the shape of a huge golden sand dune inspired by the country's desert.
The pavilion is 20 meters high, and covers 6,000 square meters, the largest size available to Expo participants.
The outer covering is gold-colored stainless steel. Its undulating roof, looking as if it has been shaped by the wind, will make the pavilion shimmer and change colors, reminding visitors of the Middle East country's natural variety.
The shape of the pavilion is also designed in response to Shanghai's weather. It will protect against the direct glare of the city's summer sun but allow indirect light to enter the pavilion via louvers.
