"Ancient" meaning "new" solution reveals freshness

As one of the most important pavilions built by the Expo organizers, the China Pavilion takes "Chinese wisdom in urban development" as its core content. As one of the most important pavilions built by the host country of the World Expo, the Chinese Pavilion takes "Chinese wisdom in urban development" as the core content of the exhibition, carrying the expectations of the Chinese nation for the development of technology and social progress. The design of the China Pavilion is characterized by a number of Chinese elements. At the same time, these traditional elements "ancient" meaning "new" solution, revealing a fresh breath -

■ China Red China Pavilion large areas of the atmosphere, calm and steady, "Forbidden City Red". "Forbidden City red" as the main color of the building, eye-catching color, but also easy to be understood by the world.

■Body bearing heaven and earth in the composition of the Chinese Pavilion, the National Pavilion and regional pavilions of the overall layout of the metaphor of heaven and earth, all things are savory, reflecting the understanding of Eastern philosophy of the relationship between "heaven" and "earth". The National Pavilion is "heaven", like a sculpture towering above, like the Chinese crown towering, the world's breadbasket; regional pavilions for the "earth", like a pedestal extended below, implying the community Ze Shenzhou, affluent in all directions.

■ National Pavilion 63 meters in absolute height, the lower 33 meters completely empty, the center of these symmetrical space and the flat extension of the regional pavilion space, for the free exchange of people to provide a full open place. And this kind of openness and public ****ness is an important concept in international architectural design.

■Douguan modeling National Pavilion embodies the cultural elements of traditional Chinese architecture with the overall atmospheric douguan modeling. At the same time, the traditional curved design has been straightened, and the main shape of the layers out of the body shows the beauty of the strength and structure of modern engineering technology. This simplified decorative line naturally completes the contemporary expression of traditional architecture.

■"Gauge" and "Hui" unify the spatial order of the Chinese Pavilion, which is composed of two parts, "gauge" and "Hui", both originated from the "gauge" and "Hui" of the Chinese Pavilion. The spatial order of the Chinese Pavilion is composed of "Gauge" and "Hui", both of which are derived from the archetypes of traditional Chinese urban architecture. The "rules" are derived from the ritualized space of traditional Chinese architecture. The introduction of the human walk in the central symmetrical spatial pattern, which symbolizes the essence of nature, allows individual spaces to evolve into spatial sequences with a sense of hierarchical progression, which is precisely the origin of the spatial order in the Forbidden City.

"Hui" originates from the non-ritualized space of traditional Chinese architecture, which gives structural order to the seemingly disordered natural landscape with human visual and auditory experiences, thus sublimating the natural space into a humanized and graspable natural essence, which is the origin of the spatial order of the Jiangnan gardens. The China Pavilion proposal integrates these two modes, introducing different modes of human activities between the central symmetrical space of the National Pavilion and the flat extended space of the Regional Pavilion.
