2010 Shanghai Expo - United Kingdom Pavilion
Building on the Past, Shaping Our Future
Heatherwick Studio's initial design strategy for the UK Pavilion established three aims to meet the FCO's key expectation that the pavilion should become one of the five most popular attractions at the Expo. The first aim was to design a pavilion whose architecture was a direct manifestation of what it was exhibiting. The second idea was to ensure a significant area of open public space around it so visitors could relax and choose either to enter the pavilion building, or see it clearly from a calm, non-queuing vantage point. And thirdly, it would be unique among the hundreds of other competing pavilions, events and programmes.
Green City, Open City and Living City
"Belief in the significance of architecture is premised on the notion that we are, for better or for worse, different people in different places—and on the conviction that it is architecture’s task to render vivid to us who we might ideally be." "Architecture gifting" is all about "sharing". The building has provided not only physical but also psychological sanctuary. It shares the space, function and some kind of spirited sense. The United Kingdom Pavilion is a great example of 'sharing '.
