Explore the Seed Cathedral, Architectural Marvel of World Expo in Shanghai (Video)
Hey folks, I went to China last month to explore sustainability issues~ and dropped by the World Expo~ this was by far my favorite find.
The World Expo is that place where every country can shine and show off their creativity and innovations. Most of the countries opted to wow the audiences with high tech innovations. However The UK circumnavigated the obvious and developed an experiential design that encouraged the audience’s curiosity and awareness about the relationship between mankind and the natural world. The UK Pavilion demonstrates the relationship between innovation, nature and science and encourages the audience to wonder whether it could be used to solve the current social, economic and environmental challenges of our cities.
The result: A seed cathedral.
