Expo Blending

I was representing the Shanghai Expo.

And an expo is a totally bonkers thing.

National Pavilion for the World Expo in 2010.

Year 2000, there was a big expo in Germany.

It's the world's biggest ever expo that had ever happened.

He's the mascot of the expo, and he looks strangely familiar.

I learned about your portable copier at the Tokyo Office '97 Expo.

And I did my first expo de rue, which means sidewalk gallery.

And they chose this mascot because the theme of the expo is Better City, Better Life.

I was asked to design the building, because the theme of the expo was environmental issues.

I mean, in a way it was the most serious thing you could possible do at the expo.

And so that became the governmental goal is, how do you stand out in this chaos, which is an expo of stimulus?

This is an image that won us a competition for an exhibition pavilion for the Swiss Expo 2002 on Lake Neuchatel, near Geneva.

But the thing that was true, the expo was about the future of cities, and particularly the Victorians pioneered integrating nature into the cities.

You'll walk around, start looking for a bicycle on the roof, jump on your ride and then continue out into the rest of the expo.

So if you come to the expo, go straight to the Danish pavilion, get a Danish bike, and then continue on that to visit the other pavilions.

And we ask the question, can we use technology, high technology, to make an expo pavilion that's decidedly low definition, that also challenges the conventions of space and skin, and rethinks our dependence on vision?

It's funny when Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997, after 12 years away, it was the MacWorld Expo he came to the stage in that black turtleneck and jeans, and he sort of did this.
