danish pavilion by bjarke ingels group at shanghai expo 2010
exterior view of danish pavilion for shanghai expo 2010
the world expo aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science
and technology, giving exhibitors the opportunity to publicize their achievements and improve international
relations. bjarke ingels group(BIG) of denmark has won the danish pavilion for expo 2010 in shanghai with their
proposal of a loop, a velodrom and an interactive fairytale. for the pavilion BIG, 2+1 and ARUP will relaunch the
bike as a modern and sustainable urban alternative to the increasing car traffic in shanghai. the pavilion's 1500
city bikes will be offered to visitors for the duration of the expo. after the completion of the world expo,
the pavilion has the potential to be relocated to another urban public space as a transferium for the bikes
of shanghai. the building on show is a loop which will house the exhibition 'wellfairytales'.
the link betwen shanghai and copenhagen is that both are harbor cities, but where the two differ are in the
management of their urban waterfronts. in denmark, the polluted harbor activities have been replaced by
harbor parks and cultural institutions, and the water is so pure you can swim in it, whereas in shanghai the
situation is not as perfect. for the danish pavilion, BIG's aim was to try and bring the danish approach and
perspective to shanghai. in the heart of the pavilion there will be a mermaid pool, filled with sea water from
copenhagen's harbor and will allow chinese guests to swim, feel and taste the water. sculptor edvard eriksen's
original 'mermaid' will also make its appearance, being transported from denmark to offer a true experience of
danish urban life.
the project is led by BIG's founder bjarke ingels and associate niels lund petersen in collaboration with
idea bureau, 2+1 and ARUP AGU.
