3XN architects proposal for the danish pavilion at the shanghai expo 2010 is
easily recognisable from a distance. with its two colours white and red and simple
rectangles, the building says denmark more clearly than any other image or symbol.
the pavilion is in the shape of the danish flag on all sides – also top and bottom.
the four red rectangular fields, thus, form eight blocks and the white in the flag can
be opened in both directions to form an inner square or urban space at the heart of
the building. the total volume is tilted slightly to one side, and emphasised in strategic
places, thus creating an entrance and an exit that provides shelter from the rain
and shade on sunny days.
