اگه اکسپوی پارسال کلا دوتا غرفه ی دیدنی داشته باشه، یکی ش همین غرفه‌ی انگلستان بود و دیگری غرفه‌ی خود چین!
خیلی ایده ی جالبی داشت این غرفه‌ی انگلستان!
اومدن گرفتن یه عالمه دونه‌ی گیاهان رو تو شیشه کردن! بعد ازش با این الگو که می بینین این بنای تخیلی رو بنا کردن!
به نظرم اگه قرار بود این کار انجام بشه باید چنین کاری رو ایران می کرد نه این که اون بنای .....!

the concept behind thomas heatherwick's UK pavilion at shanghai expo 2010,
is an enclosure that throws outwards from all sides, a mass of long radiating cilia.
the centerpiece of the pavilion is the seed cathedral, a six storey high cube-like structure,
pierced by approximately 60 000 x 7.5m long slim transparent acrylic rods which sway gently
in response to any wind movement. during the day each of these rods act like fibre
optic filaments, drawing on daylight in order to illuminate the interior. at night, light sources
at the interior end of each rod allow the whole structure to glow from the outside.
the pavilion is situated on a landscape which resembles paper which once wrapped
the building, but now lies unfolded on the site. the surrounding space provides an open
venue for public events and along with shelter for visitors.
the union jack is visible on the exterior
