Hello! Am finally back from my blogging hiatus that was brought about by a combination of work, gym, events and a very faulty laptop screen.
Decided to blog about the global event that has been on the mouths of quite a number of people, the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. With just one more day to go to its official opening, I thought it would be good to restart my blog with a post that shares my favourite pavilions. The pavilions are set up by participating countries, regions, companies and organizations to share its ‘brand’ to the audience by way of exhibits and performances inside the pavilion. The participating countries will display its global image through its pavilion, and I suppose its architecture would play an important role in portraying the right image to the world.
Being Malaysian, obviously I was slightly curious to see what our country had to offer the pavilion. To be honest, I was prepared to cringe as I have seen footage of the Malaysian pavilion for the 2005 Expo in Aichi, Japan and it wasn’t impressive to say the least. So how did Malaysia fare this year? Wait for it…wait for it…
First up, here are my preferred pavilions so far. It may be unfair to judge based on artistic rendering alone, but the concepts described do sound rather impressive.
