Urban Dreams Pavilion

The Urban Dreams pavilion is located in a power plant of the early 20th century which was reconstructed for this event. The exhibition was designed by the Spanish agency Ingeniaqued in cooperation with the Chinese artist Bu Hua. The concept involves an imagined travel into the future, adopting an optimistic view of opportunities for developing hospitable cities via a combination of technological progress and tradition.

Visitors walking through five exhibition rooms will find examples of sustainable solutions for urban problems concerning living, traffic, energy supply, and city planning. There are specific references to innovations put into practice in such diverse cities as Beijing, Kōbe, Freiburg im Breisgau, Canberra and San Diego. The high point of the tour is an animated movie shown in a 35-meter-high hall. It presents a colorful fantasy world.
