Japan pavilion Shanghai Expo 2010
Japan will highlight the role of advanced ecological technology in helping humans achieve a more comfortable life and confidence in the future with its huge “breathing organism” pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010.
The country’s Shanghai Expo pavilion will feature a theme on the harmony between the human heart and technology. Hiroshi Tsukamoto is Commissioner General of the Japanese Section Expo Shanghai 2010.
The theme is an extension of the Aichi Expo 2005 theme “Nature’s Wisdom” and also an interpretation of the “Better City, Better Life” Shanghai Expo theme, the official added.
Japan Shanghai Expo Pavilion has rented a 6,000-square-meter plot at the Expo site. The 24-meter-high pavilion is the largest the country has ever built for a World Expo. It is also one of the largest pavilions at Expo 2010.
The pavilion will be split into past, present and future exhibits. The country’s semi-circular pavilion will make use of natural resources, including solar energy atteries and a double-layer membrane that can filter sunshine to coincide with its interpretation of how technology can better our lives.
Visitors will be able to experience some Chinese elements at Japan Pavilion, which will involve Chinese characters and traditional Chinese architectural styles. Sophisticated energy-saving technologies will be on display and performances will also be staged.
Some intelligent robots will also be a part of Japan Pavilion, but the Japan Expo team don’t want to reveal more information in order to keep the exhibit a surprise.
