Tsinghua University and Studio Link-Arc are teaming up to build China's Pavilion, and the design is nothing short of extraordinary. The look is inspired by nature, with the hope that it will encourage the thought process that cities and rural settings can work in harmony together.
From a distance China's Pavilion looks like flowing waves from the ocean, with the roof simulating this general movement. At night the entire design is illuminated, creating a very serene atmosphere for all of those nearby. For materials, bamboo and timber will mostly be used, sourcing from China's natural resources in the area.
Hopefully this design will attract more tourism business to China, as this is a structure one does not want to miss.
