Urban Planet

Commissioned by the Chinese organizing committee of the Shanghai World Expo 2010, the German company Triad has designed one of the main theme pavilions - the “Urban Planet.” Triad had won the international bidding for the 12,000 m² pavilion against more than 150 competitors. The “Urban Planet” pavilion addresses both the complex processes shaping the urbanization of our planet and global challenges that go along with it. The scenography combines traditions of Western narratives with motives taken from the Chinese Feng shui heritage. With a two-part structure, the exhibition focuses on the ambivalent character of cities: On the one hand, they destruct the environment, on the other, they are also places for creating value, prosperity and technological innovations. “Urban Planet” is ready to receive an expected 60,000 visitors per day.
