Italy will have a large national pavilion in World Expo in Shanghai 2010.
The expo pavilion will be called The City of Man. It is made of 20 functional modules that can be assembled freely. It was designed by Giampaolo Imbrighi.
The design was inspired by a traditional Shanghainese game, like pick-up-sticks. In the game, people can drop a batch of 20 to 30 sticks on a table and try to move one stick at a time without moving the others until all the sticks are cleared.
The 20 modules represent the 20 regions of Italy, making the whole pavilion embody a mini Italian city.
Milan, in Italy, will host the World Expo in 2015, and so they will try to find a lot of information at the 2010 expo in Shanghai, China.
France unveiled an amazing national pavilion with a simple look, but huge budget, for the World Expo 2010 Shanghai.
The pavilion’s name is “the Sensual City”. The design will try to replicate French style in Shanghai, China, and it will be surrounded by water so it will look like it is floating.
The French government has allocated an enormous 50 million euros (552 million yuan) budget for the national pavilion. 80% of the total amount will be spent on building the 6,000-square-meter pavilion.
The French pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010 was designed by Jacques Ferrier.
The Shanghai Expo 2010 mascot is called ‘Haibao’. He is a small blue person with big eyes and a big smile! The mascot was designed by a Chinese designer and will be used only for the Shanghai Expo 2010.
