China. Xi’an International Horticulture Expo 2011. Above is one of four new parks. This one is the Theme Pavilion. Note the main buildings, top-right on the water. The geometric landforms are various showcase plantings lined with walkways. The expo is spread out over the city of Xi’an, capital city of Shaanxi Province (think - Terra Cotta statues). It’s really an architecture, landscape architecture, and business expo with a good shake of horticulture.
The Theme Pavilion, one of the four landmarks of the International Horticultural Exposition 2011 Xi’an, is centrally located and was designed to be integrated with the surrounding water and land terrains. Its architectural layout is in the shape of the Chinese character “王” consisting of irregular tri-wing geometrical objects. External wall faces made of bronze, wood, or shrubbery function as irregular interfaces. The exhibition in the pavilion will showcase new achievements and products in horticulture and floriculture as well as new environmentally-friendly and energy-saving technologies and materials.
