The Canada Pavilion - from design to completion

March 2010

This exterior shot of the Canada Pavilion showcases the structure's unique crystalline geometric design and evokes recognition of the precious nature of our natural resources. Canadian red cedar provides the outer skin of the ecodesigned envelope which incorporates sun-breakers to create harmonious energy exchange with the pavilion's natural environment. SNC Lavalin construction workers complete the fastening of nearly 4,000 cubic metres of Canadian red cedar on the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
