Stroll through the Asian area of the Shanghai World Expo Park, and you will see a building built with "Korean characters", which is huge and novel and has a colorful appearance. Yes, this is the Korea Pavilion.
Close to it, you will find that the junction between its characters is the entrance of the exhibition hall, which can be found in all directions. This exhibition hall, designed by the famous Korean architectural design studio Mass Studies, is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of visitors.
Before I stepped into the Korea Pavilion, I was full of doubts and thought, "The Korea Pavilion is an elite version of Korean cities condensed in 311: 1 size. After entering, can I really see all the Korean cities at once?" Mass Studies' previous architectural works were not only eye-catching, but also rich in connotation and attached great importance to humanistic care. "Can you imagine that you are a member of the city through the exhibition hall with three floors?"
It's just that in the gap between thoughts, colorful pixel painting decoration has filled your field of vision. This is created by Jiang Yizhong, a Korean painter living in the United States, and retains his consistent rich style, which makes you dazzled before you step into the exhibition hall. This artist is very good at the decorative art of giant mosaic. If you haven't had time to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace in Korea to see his huge pixel paintings, this time, you can enjoy the master's art without leaving Shanghai.
You know, the history of the World Expo is also a colorful development history of world architecture. It is the designer's wisdom that makes the wonderful design come true. So when we set out to visit the exhibition hall, we might as well watch the appearance of the building first. Designers heartily incorporate many innovative and bold designs into their works, and it is enough to enjoy the building itself.
bGirl's Stage
Focus: Cultural Happiness and Enthusiasm Corridor
When you enter the exhibition hall, you will be in the magical atmosphere of this exhibition hall. In the Korea Pavilion, you will meet four "virtual friends" who symbolize Korea's science and technology, nature, culture and humanity. They will serve as messengers to convey the information of Korean cities and lead you to visit exhibition halls with different themes.
First, come to the cultural corridor to welcome visitors. Girl B is full of energy. She has all the advantages of the heroine of the "warm-hearted attack" Korean drama. Say hello to you and welcome visitors.
She represents the younger generation in Korea, full of confidence and vigor. Then there is a long corridor, and you will cross the dynamic art wall under the guidance of girl B. This promenade uses a real-time image control system. Visitors' postures are captured by the camera, and are reflected on the walls on both sides through image processing.
does it bring you expectation and excitement for the new space?
The designer's intention is clear and clear. When you enter this space, you will become a member of this "mini-city", and you can open up a new road in this "blueprint of the future city" and compare it with the city where you live. With her guidance, visitors seem to have experienced a trip to the city.
Diary of a foreign chef
Focus: Delicious and humanized life dailybooth
It's like a paved dining table, where everyone can sit around and experience the humanized daily life in Korea.
Come to this unique exhibition area, meet foreign chefs and read his diary. This is not a messy kitchen. It's very modern. You can browse books and periodicals related to food at will, and you can feel the comfortable city life through vivid photos and even online blogs? The passion for food is perfectly combined with the passion for images and words.
This is indeed a chef's dream for men. This foreign chef who lives in a Korean city travels around the world and makes friends, which brings happiness to people through his work. He is full of whimsy, and the Korean food he concocts is also very authentic. He will also talk about Korean food with you in Kan Kan, telling the truth that "cooking food is like cooking life, and tasting food is like tasting life".
I really want to thank him for passing on all the experience of how to make Korean food, taste it and feel it.
Eco-girl's home
Concern: environmental protection, natural warmth and ecology
People's concept of inexhaustible resources on the earth has gradually changed, and various environmental protection activities are also in the ascendant. What is a "secure home"? City people in Korea have been dreaming of environmental protection.
When you come to the eco-girl's home, environmentally friendly materials can be seen everywhere, and "green design" is a very important topic here. Eco-girl's home is experimental, such as an exquisite model house, bed, dining table, studio and so on. As long as you plug in an electric plug, the whole "home" can operate freely.
She is fashionable and independent, and likes to get close to nature in her spare time. She won't let the "environmental protection" that has been called for countless times become a mere formality, but practice it. She seems to be an environmental protection artist in life and the most fashionable "Lohas" at present. She will tell you a lot of clever ideas in life and demonstrate the common sense of environmental protection in life.
In this way, cities with too many loads will no longer be overloaded, and we will get close to nature and experience the most authentic, natural and warm power in life.
IT people's rooms
Concerns: High-tech network creativity is cool
If your family can't enter the house without their keys and you can't go back for a while, you can "remotely" open the door for the family waiting at the door with just a few taps of your mobile phone; The pressure-sensitive floor inside the family can detect the fall of the elderly and call for help immediately; Using high-tech information technology, let computers connect family private life with street public life? All this is not whimsical. Although Korea is not the forerunner of these new technologies, it has its own characteristics in the high-tech field. They realize that all this is the general trend of urban life in the future.
I followed the IT people to his room and found a strong sense of science and technology and futuristic style. Grey silver and black are the most basic elements of this style. At first, you may feel some unreal state, but then all the exhibits you come into contact with will bring you psychological goodwill. In this scientific and technological space, you can learn about the future space where real space and cyberspace are mixed. It is like a "time machine", which is presented one by one from this diverse, exciting and creative room, and it is a cutting-edge city life in the future.
These four "virtual friends" who travel with you have their own characteristics. Without any of them, the city will lose its luster. While they are working together in Qi Xin to help you visit the exhibition hall, they are also perfecting the definition of "blueprint for the future city".
Besides these, what else can we see?
Focus: The secret of the U-shaped passage in the multimedia performance of waterscape in World Expo 2112
-this is obviously a passage, but why do the walls on both sides present different images? Or is it a strange movie hall? If you think so, you are deceived by its appearance. There is an "organ" in this U-shaped passage. When you pass through it, it will project your figure on the curved walls on both sides, so that you seem to "float to the sky" and "throw yourself into the arms of the green". Isn't it interesting?
The power of images-the vigorous vitality of Korean films, gives almost all Asian native films more hope in the face of the threatening Hollywood films. Whether it is beautiful, dreamy, or bold and cutting-edge, you can always find many excellent works. This time, Sung-su Kim, a famous director who made the film "Samurai", will take the lead in the multimedia display of images in the Korea Pavilion. His style is changeable, and he is known as the "multi-faceted warrior". Recently, the subjects he shot are becoming more and more appetizing for young people. I hope this palm mirror can also bring us surprises.
Water Stage-Because the exhibition hall concentrates the South Korean city of Seoul in a size of 311∶1, it maintains many essences of the original city. The river that runs through the city is indispensable. It winds into a waterscape and includes a large water stage. So, the water curtain is here, and the auditorium that can accommodate 511 people is on the other side, much like the stage of "Iceberg Show" in Zaragoza, but it has been moved indoors. When the drama was about to be staged, the crowd gradually gathered and it became a rest place.
in 2112, the ocean was the theme-when Yeosu, South Korea won the right to host the 2112 World Expo, the proposition of "vibrant sea, endless coast" has been linked to the relationship between South Korea and the World Expo. There is no denying that the Shanghai World Expo is an excellent platform. They also opened up a space called I Ocean, which extended the theme of the Shanghai World Expo to the ocean field.
Korean Carnival-In addition, Korea has introduced many new and splendid cultural performances in the National Pavilion. This is also a surprise for visitors from the Korea Pavilion. Traditional celebration performances, cultural exchange programs between China and South Korea, film and television festivals, Korean wave parades and fashion shows? Some performances are permanent, while others are rare. You should check the previews before watching them, so as not to miss the opportunity.
