Poland Pavilion
Poland Pavilion
The Poland Pavilion is composed of three concepts: Human, Creativity and the City. As a perfect example of the Polish architecture, it mirrors the combination of modernity and folk art, representing the creativity and imagination of Poland.
The design of the Poland Pavilion, appearing to be a folded paper box, is inspired by its folk art: paper cut-outs. During daytime, the exhibition hall will be filled with light filtering through paper-cutting patterns; at night, it will shine with different colors and leave a deep impression on its visitors.
Highlight 1: Irregular Exterior Covered with Flowery Cut-outs – The Poland Pavilion has an abstract and irregular exterior covered with flowery cut-outs designed to reflect Polish folk art (paper cut-outs). Sunlight can enter the hall through cracks in the walls. When dusk falls, the pavilion will shine with different colors that will change as the light outside changes and penetrates the paper-cutting designs.
Highlight 2: Flexible Exhibition Area – In addition to the folded “paper cut-out panel”, the pavilion will also create geometrical structures inside. The exhibition area is creative and flexible enough to be divided into several sections for small expositions, concerts and shops. Lighting in the main exhibition hall will create rich lighting effects while the inner walls can be used to project a film about the Polish social life. People-friendly designs and facilities are everywhere in the pavilion.
Highlight 3: Piano Concert on Chopin – The year 2010 will be the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederic Chopin, one of the greatest composers and pianists of Poland. A piano concert on Chopin will be held each day in the center square and music hall of the pavilion to commemorate the Polish musician. Visitors will be able to enjoy the concert while tasting traditional Polish cuisine.
Highlight 4: Eco-friendly design – It will also be a “green” pavilion saving energy to the fullest extent, and protecting the environment by pollution abatement so as to provide visitors with a healthy, comfortable and highly efficient pavillion

Indonesia Pavilion
Indonesia Pavilion
The theme of Indonesian pavilion is Biodiverse City. Dubbed as Indonesia IS, the Indonesia Pavilion is inspired by commonalities of Indonesia’s diverse traditional houses – bamboo, stilts, open plan, wall-less, and oneness with Nature. It’s described as a world of continuity, of being in harmony with each other and nature.
The exterior of the 4,000 square meters Indonesia Pavilion is covered with greenish bamboo sticks while some bamboo also grows out from the pavilion’s ceiling. With a special fibre that is strong and breathes well, bamboo has long been favored as a construction material. The use of bamboo for the Indonesia Pavilion symbolizes the synergy between the traditional and contemporary lifestyles of Indonesia. Bamboo symbolically represents Indonesia’s endurance, humility and adaptability in embracing change.
Indonesian pavilion is divided into three zones: Bio Zone, Diverse Zone, and City Zone. The building also features indoor waterfall, Bio Tunnel, Music Tunnel, 680 square meters Borobudur Megawall, collection of 2,200 narrative exhibits, indoor screening room, amphitheater, food and beverage area, and coffee corner.
The mascots of Pavilion of Indonesia are: Pongo the orang utan and Koko the Komodo dragon.
The total operation of the Indonesian Pavilion is estimated to cost IDR 200 billion or approx USD 23 million.
