The focal point of the UK Pavilion, designed by Wolfgang Buttress, will be a delicate and ethereal golden orb structure made of fine steel lattice based on an abstracted analogue of honeycomb.
The Hive will pulsate and buzz with the noise of a real bee colony. It plays on the parallels between bee and human societies.

The Milan Expo will be a unique opportunity for the UK to demonstrate our world class innovation and creativity to millions of people around the globe.
I have been impressed by the number of companies who applied and am delighted that the final list represents such a diverse cross-section of British talent.”
Malcolm Reading, architect and competition organiser said:
“The shortlist represents an inspiring mix of creative skills, combining design, content and interpretation and spanning a number of professional fields from architecture and music to agri-business, via engineering and story-telling.
“The collaborative approach rises to the challenge of making a memorable pavilion for Milan and our shortlist has great talent and energy.”
The Pavilion will showcase Britain’s contribution in research, innovation and entrepreneurship to the global challenges addressed by the Expo theme ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’. The British theme for the project is ‘Grown in Britain: Shared Globally’.
Twenty million visitors are expected to visit the six-month Expo in Italy, with more accessing the experiences and excitement online.

Working to the Expo theme ‘Feeding the World: Energy for Life’, the UK Pavilion will showcase British creativity and innovation with a special focus on food, lifestyle, technology and sustainability.
The Pavilion will have a high visual impact and provide a distinctive visitor experience.
The Expo will run from 1st May to 31st October 2015 with over 20 million visitors projected.
The design competition seeks creative partnerships of designers, content providers and fabricators for the Pavilion, planned for the high-profile heart of the Expo site, neighbouring the major food-themed pavilions.
MRC will shape the design brief for the Pavilion, develop the design criteria, launch, promote and administer the competition.
MRC ran the competition for the hugely successful UK Pavilion for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, designed by Thomas Heatherwick and awarded the Gold Medal for pavilion design by the Expo Bureau. It also won the prestigious annual award for international architecture, the Lubetkin Prize, given by the RIBA.
Malcolm Reading, Competition Organiser, said:
We are delighted to have been selected to find the team who will make Expo 2015 as memorable as Expo 2010 for the UK. Five years on from Shanghai, Expo 2015 in Milan is another terrific opportunity to show the world what makes our design and creative teams the best in class. The challenge is different but the impact will be just as compelling. We are looking for strong collaborations and skillful design leadership.
