Design Concept

The proposed Hong Kong pavilion consists of oval-shaped bamboo scaffolding as the inner core which resembles a blooming Bauhinia floating gracefully on the water while disseminating the history of Hong Kong. A glass and steel structured rectangular box covering the entire exhibition site forms another outer layer of space. Tangling and integrating with the inner bamboo core, the composition expresses Hong Kong as a multi-faceted and cross-cultural international metropolis. The overall structure is simple, clear and yet provoking. It denotes precisely the artistic image and significance of the Hong Kong Pavilion, exemplifying the trend and aesthetics of the 21st century, as well as complying and maximizing the coverage of the whole site.
