I am hugely inspired by this facsinating pavilion which is the winning design of Shanghai Expo 2010. The design team is Heatherwick Studio based in London. The theme of the Expo is “Better City, Better Life” and a key client objective is for the UK Pavilion to be one of the most popular attractions. I believe they strongly accomplished that aims with fabulous design concept and story of 'The Seed Cathedral'. The Seed Cathedral is a platform to show the work of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew and their Millennium Seedbank.
This video describes well the narrative of their design concept.
Their works are always strong and creatvie. I also like and want to recommend their lots of other creative architectural works and sculptures susch as rolling bridge in Paddington Basin, London.
