Danish Pavilion by Bjarke Ingels Group
Talk about taking the whole “infuse the pavilion with your country’s assets” thing literally. The center of this coil-shaped structure will be filled with sea water shipped from Copenhagen Harbor to Shanghai. The city’s famed Little Mermaid statue will be temporarily installed in the Danish water. Danes are proud cyclists, so the pavilion will provide 1500 bikes for expo visitors to ride around.
