Norway Pavilion
Norway Pavilion
A forest from Norway is providing a cool experience for visitors to the 2010 World Expo. Norway’s pavilion, with the theme “Norway, powered by nature,” was constructed around 15 model trees made from Norway’s pine trees and Chinese bamboo. Wood is widely used as a construction material in Norway while bamboo is the traditional construction material in China. The pavilion aims to present an impression that Norway is a livable place, Norwegians’ harmonious relationship with nature, their reverence for nature and how nature has provoked Norway’s inspiration. Norway hopes to dedicate each tree to different cities in China.
Rugged coastline, enchanting fjords and amazing glaciers, Norway boasts a storm of spectacular scenery. Cities in Norway are close to nature, which are surrounded by sea, mountains or forests. A visit to the pavilion is a fun journey through coastline, forests, mountains, fjords and Arctic region. If you are longing for an unforgettable and dreamlike journey around the country’s breath-taking landscape, the Norwegian Pavilion is the right place for you to go.
Highlight 1: Eco-friendly Design – The model trees are covered by a semi-transparent roof and when the sun shines through the roof, it will create the effect of shade or blue skies. The roof is also able to collect solar energy to make the entire pavilion self-sufficient.
Highlight 2: Northern Lights Show – When dark envelops, dreamlike and fantastic northern lights shows will be staged on the roof of the pavilion via projection, and visitors will be able to enjoy special concerts against the backdrop of lights from the Arctic circle.
Highlight 3: Amazing Journey – Large screens describe how Norwegians use solar, wind and wave energy in the Coastline section. People can watch movies in the Forest section, which will introduce the natural scenery and daily lives of Norwegians, as well as outline its scientific research. The nation’s fishing industry is introduced in the Fjord section. And in the North Pole section, visitors can learn the importance of these wastelands to global climate change. Then, visitors can walk onto a terrace to view the pavilion’s scenery.
Highlight 4: Authentic Norwegian Delicacies – At a Norwegian restaurant, visitors be able to try authentic salmon, reindeer and lamb meats as well as Akvavit, a flavored spirit that is produced in Scandinavia and typically contains 40 percent alcohol. The restaurant will mainly provide the freshest sea food transported from Norway.
