July 5, 2010


Pavilion Features - United Kingdom UK Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China

The first World Expo came about in the United Kingdom (UK) and was then known as the Great Exhibition, held in the Crystal Palace at Hyde Park. This majestic metal-and-glass edifice was not only home to the extravaganza display of products from all over the world, but was also the iconic symbol of the world fair, being considered one of the most beautiful structures in the world until a fire destroyed it half a century ago. Now, the United Kingdom has brought to Expo visitors a new version of the Crystal Palace – a dazzling cube formed by more than 60,000 slim and transparent acrylic rods containing seeds of different plants that were collected in a bio-diversity project.

Visitors can relax around the open space or enter the "Seed Cathedral" to admire the seeds in the spines, marveling how such tiny seeds can produce wonders of nature and life.

Highlight 1: Green Cities

Visitors at United Kingdom UK Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will travel through four UK's capital cities from west to east - Belfast, Cardiff, London and Edinburgh. Large "green maps" of the cities are on display. The best way to show how green British cities really are is to "erase" all the buildings and streets, leaving only the green spaces.

Highlight 2: Seed Cathedral

At United Kingdom UK Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, visitors will be invited to watch, touch and recognize seeds of different plants as the core exhibition of the UK Pavilion. They will be surrounded by the seeds in a 20-meter-high hollow cube-like structure with the seeds embedded in the walls and ceilings. The "Seed Cathedral" is itself an object formed from 60,000-plus transparent acrylic rods containing seeds. The seeds demonstrate the concept of sustainability, the diversity of nature and the potential of life. During the daytime, each of these 7.5-meter-long rods will act like fibre optic filaments, drawing on daylight to illuminate the interior. At night, light sources embedded in each rod will allow the whole structure to glow
.
Highlight 3: Living City

Visiting United Kingdom Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai, in the "Living City," visitors will find a showcase for a rich variety of plants, a mix of living plants and imaginary future plants. They are encouraged to look closely to see which are real and which are modeled.

Highlight 4: Olympic Corner

UK Pavilion, United Kingdom UK Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, offers a preview of the 2012 London Olympics by incorporating an "Olympic Corner" in its display.

Highlight 5: City Park

The "paper" area is as large as a standard football pitch and will be a public area for performances and for children to play football, just like a city park. The square will have performances every day including ballet, drama, orchestra and dance. Some UK football stars may be on hand to teach soccer skills to children. Much of the daily programming will concentrate on original and inventive comedy performance which draw on the UK's great tradition of theatre - stretching back to William Shakespeare - and on the current international reputation of our artists and performers for original, inventive and crowd-pleasing work.
