I am really confused as a pavilion should not be an abstract idea but something that the 70 million visitors will understand. UK has plenty to show to the world but is conservation the most important? Seeds that they don't even exist in UK?? And the seeds will have any input to the better city better life message of the EXPO?? I dont think so. The hugest disappointment in the wonderful city of Shanghai that compensated us.

Concerning the surrounding faceted landscape, how about this: do not make it too bright in color and with too many facets. Rather, to use one color in its coloration; to make most use of its shape, that the landscape and the six-storey pavilion are obviously an organic whole. Is it possible to ask a paper-cutting practitioner to cut out such a model, from which one may get inspired with regard to how to deal with the landscape. __________________ peterscott this looks & sounds amazing & id definitely want to see it, i wonder what the Chinese will think of it, initially puzzled, im not sure, hopefully curious and delighted, that would be really nice.
