Pavilion of ideas for the World's fair in China

The Pavilion of Ideas, project Heatherwick Studio, has won the five competitors who have entered in short-list of competition of projects of design of the British Pavilion for the World's fair which will take place in Shanghai (Shanghai 2010 Expo).

The pavilion looks as a box with one thousand beams. There is an illusion, that the bud from thin rods is groundless.

All thin rays are mobile and move together with a wind. On their tips colour diodes about which help it is possible to create on a surface various images are fixed.

In pavilion visitors become spectators of the action visualised on the huge screen.

The external platform round pavilion becomes an exposition and an audience, and also a place for cafe and the shops surrounded with strips of a grass.

The pavilion will be as much as possible harmless, designers will try to use only processed materials. The object easy, not demanding the concrete basis, “gently concerns the earths” — so has been written in release.

Innovative technologies of the Polish architects

The Polish architects of company Moomoo will create the house overturning representation of the inhabitant about building materials.

All the matter is that the house is constructed of plastic as a rule, used for a roof — plastic isolating material Thermopian.

Thermopian has good thermal, acoustic and isolating properties, can be painted any colour what is required.

The design of the house is traditional for constructions in Poland, and is limited only by the legislation. Providing not to exceed a certain quota of square metres. There is only one essential difference about the next houses in shape — a roof as if "is lifted up" by one end of a building.
Building plan to finish in 2010.

The house from details LEGO

Likely, the house can be constructed of any handy materials. But, as they say, and in a head would not come at all, that it's possible to buy designers LEGO and with pleasure to lay out from unlimited number of small colour details real construction. James May, the fan of toys from England, has made so.

The two-storeyed LEGO-palace is located in the vineyard centre.

In the house there is even a working bathroom! Each brick is generated from 727 details LEGO. For construction of such house it is necessary more than 3 million bricks, that is about 816 million details LEGO. Very entertaining designer!
