Poland is known for its traditional paper-cutting. Polish craftsmen can cut out an intricate pattern continuously, without clipping any piece of paper midway. The 3,000-square-meter pavilion, mainly made of wood, gives the impression of a huge paper cutout building, tilted slightly upward from the ground.
The exterior walls or sides of the oblong quadrilateral structure are patterned like a traditional paper cut-out and are illuminated from within.
The pavilion will be environmentally friendly, and there will be lots of green living things in the Expo environment. The basic construction material is wood, including the facade with the cut-out patterns that will be cut by laser. Most construction materials are recyclable, and since the pavilion must be removed from the Expo site after the six-month exhibition period, part of the wooden structure will be reconstructed in a Polish city.
A dramatic feature will be the ramp connecting the entrance and the rooftop, which will house an open-air restaurant. Some eco-friendly and healthy, traditional Polish dishes will be served.
During the period, the exhibition space will be filled with light filtering in through the cut-out exterior wall patterns. Shadows of the paper-cut patterns will be projected on the ground inside the pavilion.
