Das Deutsch-Chinesische Haus
Reconstruction in the new museum quarter, Hangzhou, China, 2018
Deutsch-Chinesisches Haus, Expo Shanghai, China, 2010
Two-storey building of bamboo and membrane with 330 m² of walk-in exhibition space, the second German pavilion for the World Expo in Shanghai. The innovative object structure is 8 m high, 25 m wide and 10 m deep and consists largely of natural bamboo canes and laminated bamboo. Newly developed connection and processing techniques for bamboo were used in the construction. The client was the Federal Foreign Office in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut.
The building, with its exhibition and play function, represents the event series “Deutschland und China – Gemeinsam in Bewegung (DuC)”, which was realised in five Chinese megacities from 2007 to 2010 and was dedicated to the theme of sustainable urbanisation. The site was centrally located next to the Austrian Pavilion on the Expo grounds (Expo: 73 million visitors).
