Design idea for an "East-West-Pavilion" for EXPO 2010 Shanghai

The idea for an East-West-Pavilion, which we would like to realize on EXPO 20101 in Shanghai, is the abstraction of the Chinese turtle. The well-known meaning of the turtle in China is a long life and a slow, but continuous development.

Chinesische Schildkröte

The head of this object is designed similar to the sculpture “Eurasian Sculpture [REN]” or head leg figure. The back or roof with the windows symbolizes the shell of the animal; the sinus-curved line is the conclusion of the shell.

The meaning of the strings above is the “Information tree”, which “grows” from the crown of the head leg figures´ top. The “Information tree” connects the two banks of a channel or small river as a symbol for connecting East and West. A further meaning of the “Information tree” is the contemporary world of electronic networking. The interior hall will be designed as an exhibition hall, may be with several floors.
