The Exploration on the after Use of the Expo Pavilion

Abstract

The expo 2010 in Shanghai from May 1st to October 30th has ended, after six months, 55billion dollars, and 73million visitors. According to the rules of the Bureau International des Expositions, the global governing body of Expos, all the pavilions on the expo site should be taken down. However that will put the Shang Hai Expo into dilemma, as which was characterized by its greenness, expo pavilions destruction will create tons of waste instead of “better city, better life”. Except for the China Pavilion and Expo performance centre, other pavilions have to wait to be chosen either remained or removed to other location. Therefore this thesis is trying to make some case analyses of the Expo pavilion in the history and explore the potential of the temporary building.
