Only a few months following the opening ceremony for the International
Exhibition in Zaragoza 2008, word has already come around of the Shanghai
Expo 2010, which aims to be the greatest and most sustainable environmentally,
but at the same time the most technological. In the hard task of making
everything coexist, the pavilions will divide themselves between technological
choices (
) and the sustainable ones, like the warped fabric
made of steel and wicker of Spanish pavilion. The Barcelonese studio
Miralles Tagliabue (EMBT) won the public contest against project competitors
such as Izaskun Chinchilla (second place), Federico Soriano and Batlle
i Roig.
The project proposed by EMBT consists on developing the handicraft
technique of the wicker into a practice of construction. With this
goal in mind, the universal language of the material works to build
a bridge between East and West, and among Spain and China. With the
volumetric, material, and structural inspirations of a wicker basket
array, the void of the stands will mold a pavilion in which tubular
metallic supports will sustain a wicker grid that will filter the
light and function as a climatic membrane that wraps the pavilion.
