  The pavilion is a mesh architecture made up of 10,000 single barrels and nuts with its interior fitment adopting recycled steel pipes. On the west wall, a 130-centimeter tall robot will give wonderful performances. The pavilion is divided into sections of theme theatres, eight main exhibition areas, shops and restaurants. Performances with strong senses of rhythm will be offered and images presented will change every three minutes.

  State Grid Pavilion

  The 4,000-square-meter pavilion, named “Magic Box,” is designed to be a metallic square with a crystal cube embedded inside. The “Magic Box” is supported by two constructions with grid facade. A solar light system which is composed of 12 mirrors and resembles sunflowers will illuminate the underground part of the pavilion. Making full use of summer wind in Shanghai, a “Tunnel of Electric Current” is installed inside the pavilion, where visitors are expected to have a special experience that feels like moving inside the wires. Covered by LED lights, the box will be shinning with colorful lighting all day around to provide visitors with a visual highlight and special experiences.

  Highlight 1: A Cubic Theater – Patrons will be invited to stand at the center of a 20-meter-high cubic theater with six screens covering the walls, ceiling and floor. The screens will cover a 720-degree space to let audiences feel that they are fully integrated. In the pavilion, visitors will first “meet with” the electricity. They will then “get to know” and further be “intensely linked” with electricity. The movie will tell a four-minute story about comfortable future life made possible by intelligent power systems.

  Highlight 2: “Heart of Energy” Substation – Below the “box of energy,” there is the high-tech substation known as “Heart of energy” in Expo 2010 where visitors can enjoy unveiling the secrets of how the working substation supply power to parts of the Puxi section and all the pavilions of the Expo site.
