| China Pavilion |
|
 |
| |
The China Pavilion, located in the Pudong zone of Expo Park and to the east of Expo Axis, has a total floor space of 160,100 square meters.
The main structure of the China Pavilion, "The Crown of the East," has a distinctive roof, made of traditional dougong or brackets, which date back more than 2,000 years. The dougong style features wooden brackets fixed layer upon layer between the top of a column and a crossbeam. This unique structural component of interlocking wooden brackets is one of the most important elements in traditional Chinese architecture. Dougong was widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC-467 BC).
The contour design of the pavilion is based on the concept of "Oriental Crown, Splendid China, Ample Barn, and Rich People," to express the spirit and disposition of Chinese culture.
After the finish of its reopening, the China Pavilion will be converted into as a permanent Expo theme museum, and the Chinese Provincial Pavilion will be used as a venue for all kinds of exhibitions and activities. |
