Winner of the international contest for “Design and environmental recovery of former industrial pavilions within the BEST URBAN PRACTICES AREA” in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The project preserves the original structure and shape of the sheds, while renovating them with a new surface that can function as thermal barrier, projection screen and illumination. The newly designed annexed buildings are integrated in the existing structure, connecting the square outside with the pavilions of the Expo through a series of external, internal and suspended walkways with a mitigated climate.
