Its design was inspired by the children's game "pick-up sticks," which is known as "Shanghai" in Italy. The rectangular pavilion will be laced with intersecting lines - representing pick-up sticks. The pavilion will also make use of a cutting-edge construction material known as transparent concrete. The pavilion will present Italian opera, fashion shows and food for its visitors.
Germany's Pavilion
Architect: Lennart Wiechell
The theme of the pavilion is "Balancity." It will demonstrate the importance of balance between modernization and preservation, innovation and tradition, community and the individual, work and leisure, and between globalization and national identity.
Pavilion architect Lennart Wiechell said the highlight of the pavilion will be a cone-shaped structure housing a revolving metal sphere, 3 meters in diameter and covered with 30,000 LEDs, which will be activated by the noise and movement of spectators. The 6,000-square-meter structure will be Germany's largest at any Expo and will comprise three exhibition areas which will showcase German urban life and how the country's design and products can help solve urbanization problems.
