ocated on the west edge of the Shanghai World Expo, the Theme Pavilion Project is the centerpiece of the core building cluster, the heart of the expo’s design of ‘one axis and four pavilions.’ The overall layout consists of Exhibition Halls 1, 2, 3, and 4 at ground level, along with an underground exhibition hall and a multi-functional atrium, supported by several ancillary rooms. The Theme Pavilion serves not only as the central space to transmit and interpret the themes of the expo, but also as a grand stage for the diversity and cosmopolitanism that is Shanghai urban life. By using its enormous dimensions and colorful activities to welcome visitors and guests, it has become the ‘living room’ of the city, permeated with the feelings of the city and all its potential charisma. Lane-and-alley fragments and city memories The Theme Pavilion’s fifth façade creates a style that is not only purely functional, but also layered in three dimensions, with the shape of its oversized roof reflecting the intersections and vertical shifts of the urban environment, and extending the traditional space of the city. The visual appeal of the roof ’s lane-and-alley texture carries on the memories of downtown Shanghai. Far-reaching eaves and the continuation of tradition T h e d e s i g n o f t h e T h e m e Pav i l i o n mirrors the ‘far-reaching eaves’ unique to and characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture, arranging entrances and waiting areas in the south and the north, where the great overhanging eaves serve as a grey area between the exhibition hall and the outdoor environment, making the building conducive
to serving as a functional space as well as an energy-saving ecological structure. Bi-directional giant span On the western edge of the pavilion, Exhibition Halls 2 and 3 cross a north–south span of 590.6 feet (180 meters) and an east– west span of 416.7 feet (126 meters). This mega-scale, bi-directional span area not only satisfies the needs of the original expo event, but also creates a unique and enormous highscale indoor space in central Shanghai for when the expo is over. It can further provide a multi-functional event space for indoor track and field events, large-scale art performances, and other major space-intensive events. Solar-paneled roof and building Integrated photovoltaics (BIVT) The solar panels covering the 7.4-acre (3-hectare) roof can produce an annual output of 2.5 million kWh and avert 2500 tons of carbon-dioxide emissions each year. As a pioneer in the application of large scale BIVT, the solar-paneled roof of the Theme Pavilion is an embodiment of the advanced state and building momentum of clean energy. Vertical green walls and urban green fences The east and west façades of the Theme Pavilion strategically employ the concepts of ‘Technological Expo’ and ‘Ecological Expo’ to convert the façades into a regional urban landscape of ‘urban green fences.’ The keel support of the vertical greening wall surface systems echoes the rhombic texture of the roof, with each unit of the green wall planted with different types of vegetation and arranged in a pattern intended to give the city the impression of a ‘festive flame.’

The basic design of the art gallery focuses on the reconciliation of the central colors of black and white to create an atmosphere and express an artistic conception of pure simplicity and complete indistinctiveness, conforming to the artistic conception known as ‘seeing white as black,’ with emphasis on the control that separates being and non-being, as well as the speculation of fullness inside of emptiness.
