Broad Pavilion

The pavilion gets its simple yet unique design idea from our earth. The DNA sculpture, which utilizes the membrane structure, rises high into the sky and glows under sunshine; while the square architectures down to the earth hold up the everlasting pursuit and dream for a steady life. Supported by pillars, the whole pavilion is half a meter off the ground with its reflection inverted in the water below.

Highlight 1: Revolving Roads – Standing on some revolving roads four meters off the ground, visitors can have an amazing overview of performances on the ground before they enter the pavilion. The revolving roads are metal-structured with membrane exteriors.

Highlight 2: Exhibition Hall of Life – The exhibition Hall of Life explores life-related elements including food, water, air and energy with health and longevity as core of the exhibitions.

Highlight 3: The DNA Sculpture – The round sculpture rising high into the sky is a model of human DNA, but 5 billion times enlarged. The sculpture is composed of hundreds of transparent balls with different sizes, all filled with helium gases inside.
