SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO 2010 MACAU PAVILION

SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO 2010 MACAU PAVILION
2010年上海世界博覽會•澳門館

The project is the First prize winner of public competition. The design was inspired by traditional rabbit lanterns popular during the mid-autumn festival in south China in ancient times. The pavilion is wrapped with a double-layer glass membrane and features fluorescent screens on its outer walls. Balloons serve as the head and tail of the ‘Rabbit,’ which can be moved up and down to attract visitors. The building is constructed with recyclable materials and has solar power panels and rain collection systems. The interior is a spiral slope, which provides a walkway for the visitors to feel the whole place.
