International Pavilion of Beijing Expo 2019 (北京世园会国际馆)

The International Pavilion serves as an indoor exhibition venue for participating countries, regions and horticultural organizations in the international arena. Covering a total construction area of 22,000 square meters, indoor exhibitions and plant competitions will unfold at the International Pavilion.

Features a sea of flowers and zigzagging streams, blossoms are weaved into 94 umbrellas to create a sea of flowers. This floral ocean opens up as an enormous sunshade, shielding the area from the summer heat to provide a pleasant recreational area.

Apart from beauty, the design of umbrellas also specializes in tailored function. Considering the hot summer when the exposition will be held, in order to avoid the heat stroke caused by tourists queuing for a long time when entering the venue, the architects left open public space under a number of "umbrellas" like a city umbrella, to provide people with a comfortable resting area.

When night falls, the floodlights on the umbrella leaves will create a colorful night scene for the stadium. With its striking feature of 94 steel-structure flower umbrellas, the International Pavilion blends harmoniously into the scenery along the Guihe River.
