Today, our journey of theOngoingHistory:fromShanghaiToMilano is with Pavilion Austria! The driving force behind the architectural design for the Expo2010 can be described as Music. The façade of the building was covered with Chinese porcelain in red and white, symbolizing its national flag. The pavilion presented Austrian music, ranging from the baroque period to contemporary VJ performances, interpreting Austrian culture and traditions.
This year in expo 2015 milano, Austria shows up in a completely different way. The pavilion is not exactly a building but a small scale Austrian forest that provides 62.5 kilograms of fresh oxygen every hour, without filters or conditioners, which is enough for 1,800 people in an ideal climate.
