World Expo is one of the largest exhibitions in the world that hosts all willing nations around the world and dates back to 1928. The event primarily serves as a platform for countries to share their cultural heritage, values, and achievements with one another. It is famous for its one-of-the-kind architectural pieces and installations. The World Expo in 2010 was hosted in China and attracted 73 million people making it the most attended world expo in history. The year’s theme was “better city, better life” and Denmark utilized its prime resources to demonstrate its take on it.
The Danish pavilion was designed by Bjarke Ingels BIG Architects group. The team created a work of art closely resonating with the year’s theme that integrated details of Danish lifestyle and most importantly – made it possible for the visitors to temporarily become part of it. The architects achieved this by making the pavilion interactive in itself – guests had 1500 bikes that could be used through the pavilion’s bike roads, enjoy the picnic, or a chance to swim in the swimming pool. The pavilion received around 4.2 million visitors in 184 days of the expo. Furthermore, its design was also the only one that offered a natural ventilation system – that was created with the pool cooling that followed the shape of the building – simultaneously ventilating the whole space.
Lastly, the Danish pavilion received a bronze award for “Pavilion Design” category that was being given by event coordinators – Bureau International des Expositions. The evaluation process included the design, construction techniques, and resonance to the year’s theme – better city, better life.
