EXPO 2005 AICHI, international pavilions.

In the previous game had discussed the conceptual and urban aspects of the Aichi Expo 2005 . This show delivers some of the pavilions visited in this event.

When compared to 2005 in Shanghai Aichi 2010, one of the most striking aspects is the organization and implementation of international pavilions. The Japanese version chose to give to all flags a strict regulatory framework, a metal box on which were developed architectural projects, obviously with some changes but a continent undergoing regulator, which gave the urban landscape of the global community some unity within the range. This contrasts with the absolute freedom, individuality and even chaos that runs through Shanghai, and try more widely from the next post.

Despite maintaining its own identity, the flags of Argentina and Canada converse in a language common volume.

ORGANIZATION.

The pavilions were organized in 6 areas for each geographical area. Then show some of them. Community

Global1: Asia


Organized over a square to receive a pool flanked by two arms turned and preceded by a long avenue, that ended the Korean flag visually, also rotated 45 degrees.

CHINA: Knowing that the next Expo would be held in China, was very curious to see the flag of the newly emerging Asian country (compared with the power that is now). I received an interesting
shown in shades of green, unwrapped along a ramp that was showing aspects of Chinese culture and its obvious technological advances. The exhibition revolved around the so-called "Tree of Life", a sculptural installation accompanied by music and aromatic stimulant effects.

Global Community 2: America


Located at the end of the Expo, near the Seto area, the representation of the Americas was notable absences, such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. Flags of North America is available around the lake while the Central and South Americans were facing a plaza.

U.S. With a facade composed of a succession of transparent metal planes, the U.S. pavilion was organized under the theme "Spirit of Benjamin Franklin," commemorating the 300 anniversary of his birth. Maybe it was the spirit of Franklin himself who from the grave to us the properties of electricity in nature, aided by a choreography of images and sounds that simulated storms through monitors arranged in various parts of the roof and interactive panels . The show also included a replica of the Spirit Mars module (remember that by that time there had been an expedition to Mars ?) And an experimental and futuristic vehicle. 5 years later has not reached the market.

FLAG ANDEAN AMAZON: The image of Chachani in Arequipa, Peru illustrated the Andean Amazonian Pavilion facade, a common space in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela. Compared with other multiple flags, where each speaker is presented separately under a common blanket, the Andean-Amazonian Pavilion was one of the ones I liked about the optics of the topic presented: the rich biodiversity of this huge biome, which transcends borders. The visitor was conducted theatrical along a ramp that was showing pictures and objects of American landscapes, dramatically emphasized by a series of metal panels which were folded on the circulation. The tour culminated culminating in a colorful and multinational restaurant. There were also individual display areas, and honestly I did not like the Peruvian area, a dummy Lord of Sipan without explanation, along with some billboards hung without any grace. But overall, the group show was interesting and enjoyable.

Global Community 3: Europe

The EU delegation was the largest, so it was divided into two global communities. In this group the largest pavilions, Germany, France, Italy and Spain aligned in orthogonal pattern, while other smaller European flags succeeded irregular defining a public space. Here is also African countries such as Morocco or Tunisia, or Asian, like Jordan, so I think it was the Mediterranean area. But what does this German?


SPAIN: it was architecturally the Aichi Expo pavilion. Powered by Alejandro Zaera-Polo of FOA (Foreign Office Architects) to design them the innovative Yokohama Maritime Terminal. A skin made with irregular hexagons covering the front of the flag, using a chromia that evokes the English flag or maybe some of the mosaics of the Alhambra . This wall is removed from the edge of the flag, creating a transitional space between the street and the building. The hexagonal geometry is multiplied to define the environment within it: a great place of welcome and five small spaces called chapels. The hexagon is also present to highlight the issues discussed, from English cuisine to the fourth centenary of Don Quixote.


Italy: This flag was not only a striking design, but design was the central theme of his speech. Under the slogan "Beauty, art and culture", the Italian sample stressed the importance of design in every aspect of life in this country throughout history, from Roman temples and Renaissance palaces to fashion, painting , sculpture, furniture and interior design. The facade is a composition of orthogonal drawings depicting aspects of the Mediterranean. Inside, we get a bridge over a water show, which happen two rooms containing art exhibitions.

Morocco: The Moroccan proposal is sound outside but ornate composition, consisting of free planes which are separated from the front but decorated with a surprise plot of palm trunks that traverse horizontally. But inside is a fantasy made up arabesque decor, a lavish interior of mosaics and finely woven wood. In the center of the space highlights a curious fountain, a giant golden icicle off a thin stream of water on a marble sink. A lavish luxury.

4: Europe


A second group of European countries had their pavilions located concentrically around a large square, near the Dome of the Expo.

BRITAIN: outdoor pavilion was a modest, dedicated to highlight features of wildlife. Half the pavilion was devoted to a botanical garden and an interactive module was explaining the life of the lizards. Attention to this screen that projected an image of the famous Eden Project , by Nicholas Grimshaw.

HOLLAND: The "land of water", he stressed the historical relationship of the Dutch and the sea, in the creation and development of dam projects and sea control as their role in trade in antiquity, particularly with Japan, Dejima, Nagasaki . The interior was decorated with Delft pottery type and projected a film on a surface on the floor.


POLAND: A wooden sheath curved orthogonality is embedded with the flag. The pavilion he paid homage to Chopin, and one of the rooms was an auditorium that could be spectacular performances of this composer and this sculpture contained in the form of piano.

Czech Republic: A simple but powerful idea and brilliantly executed, the Czech pavilion facade of commitment to the strength of the texture. A straw frame leans slightly to create a three dimensional effect. Inside, the Czechs also bet on the music, but does so in an interactive and experimental water like a piano, a sound field and some instruments metal would delight of Les Luthiers .

Global Community 5: Africa.

African area has an urban design very simple. A huge African pavilion, together with South Africa, defines a large rectangular space, whose space is limited by the Egyptian flag.


EGYPT: One of the few flags that came out of outline of the metal box to make your own formal development, and present a postmodern version, almost to the Disney theme "Eternal Egypt." The result was a box full of pastiches and imaging Ancient Egypt, with columns similar to those of Karnak but made of concrete and covered with paint. Personally I am very devoted to these as literal interpretations of a historical subject, but I am a lover of ancient Egyptian art and I must say it was fascinating to go inside and watch closely sarcophagi, furniture and sculptures, some of them replicas but some of several thousand years old.

AFRICA: What would be the Expos without African flags, without the joy and color that you put these events? Grouping 28 nations, this huge hall hosts several positions of the participating countries. Architecturally they are not representative, there is a common idea that the governing and piled haphazardly displayed under one roof. On the other hand, rescue a fair idea of \u200b\u200bthose to the former (the origin itself of these events) of improvised neighborly relations, strengthening human relationships without much concern for artistic sophistication.

Global Community 6: Southeast Asia and Oceania

Finally, Southeast Asia area is grouped around an irregular and capricious public space, an elongated area in the central part was located shows water and views of the central area and the pond called Koi.


PHILIPPINES: The Philippine flag contrasts the hardness of the layers of gray aluminum facade with the smoothness of the interior, inspired by the theme "Usbong, Seeds of life." This variety of coconut, one of the largest local products inspired shapes, textures and colors inside the building, particularly in an area of \u200b\u200b7 m in diameter called "Essence", a place of relaxation and tranquility.

AUSTRALIA: the facade of the pavilion highlighted mainly at night, due to cuts and worked by way of representations that resemble hammered Australian Aboriginal art. Inside the exhibition highlighted the need to preserve nature, a series of videos showing mounted on poles. In one of the rooms featured a giant representation of a platypus, an Australian native species.
