[Edit this paragraph] The grand occasion of the World Expo
Located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, the Aichi World Expo with the theme of "the wisdom of nature" was officially launched on March 25th. During the half year from March 25th to September 25th, cultural heritages and artistic treasures from all over the world were exhibited in nagatacho, Toyota and Seto, Aichi Prefecture, and nearly a thousand performances, activities, seminars and symposiums were held here. Regarding the theme of "the wisdom of nature", Aichi World Expo in Japan indicated that the interaction between human beings and nature has produced colorful lifestyles, cultural traditions and modern art, and people will exchange and integrate these "wisdom" here to create a grand "cross-cultural symphony" movement.
The World Expo was named "Love the Earth Expo". "Love" not only refers to Aichi Prefecture, the host city, but also contains a bigger theme and a deeper meaning, that is, "love" and "earth", that is, how human beings can achieve harmony with the natural environment earth, which is also the topic that human beings are most concerned about in the new century. This is shown in all aspects of the World Expo venues with the theme of "natural wisdom".
There are 12 1 countries, regions and 4 international organizations participating in the Aichi World Expo, which not only integrates the high and new technologies of today's world, but also brings together the ancient civilizations and traditions of the world. It combines ancient civilization with modern science and technology, which not only shows the elegance of ancient civilization, but also embodies the elegance of modern cities.
The Aichi Expo venue is located in the hilly area east of Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Visitors can enter the venue by maglev train, fuel cell bus and other means of transportation. The venue is connected by an aerial cable car and a maglev train. Environmental protection design can be seen everywhere in the venue, with grass on the roof, flowers on the wall and running water. Man and nature are ingeniously integrated. Various high-tech technologies are a highlight of the Aichi World Expo. Intelligent robots that can speak five languages, a band of seven robots playing a song together, people talking with robots, and so on. Robots of all sizes guide visitors into the venue. It is estimated that the number of visitors to this World Expo will reach10.5 million ~10.7 million, among which foreign tourists will reach10.5 million.
Changjiu Handicraft Museum covers an area of less than 2 square kilometers, and it is mainly built by using the original nature, topography and facilities of Aichi Youth Park. From the observation deck, people can see its whole picture. The center of the venue is the main passage of the irregular arc air corridor built according to the terrain. In order not to destroy the original terrain and environment, the air corridor is supported by legs of different lengths. In this way, although the location and height distribution of each exhibition hall are irregular, it is very clear to visit along the main passage of the air corridor and it is difficult to get lost. Although the terrain below is rugged, it is very flat and spacious walking on the air corridor paved with all wooden floors. This air corridor is like several ribbons, connecting the colorful "beads" of the national pavilion, the enterprise pavilion and the international organization pavilion.
The center of the air corridor is the "World Plaza", with an area of about10.4 million square meters, and some seats on the central lawn can accommodate about 3,000 people. On the front of the square, there is a vertical greening "wall of life" with a width of150m, which is sprayed with fog to show the light dance composed of light-emitting diodes. There is a stage in front of the "Wall of Life", followed by a large-scale imaging device "Expo Phantom" with a width of 20 meters and a height of 8 meters. It is the largest outdoor screen in Japan at present, reaching 840 inches. The stage includes wonderful performances such as national theme day activities of official participating countries and performances of local public organizations.
The international exhibition area of Aichi World Expo is divided into six exhibition areas according to Asia, North and South America, Mediterranean countries, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania. Here, you can meet people from more than 20 countries in the world/kloc-0, and experience the wisdom of nature and the three sub-themes of the universe, life and information, craft and life wisdom, and circular society interpreted by different cultures. If the global village is an abstract concept, then such a venue design should be able to interpret this concept incisively and vividly.
[Edit this paragraph] Environmental Expo
The harmonious development between man and nature is not only reflected in the exhibition of the Expo, but also in other aspects of the Expo. It is impossible for a large-scale international exposition like this not to move the original buildings or trees in the park completely, but the long-term venues are not simply demolished and discarded, but the building wastes that have to be demolished are effectively used as building materials for other parts of the venues, and the trees that must be moved are transplanted to other places.
The World Expo receives many tourists every day, which will inevitably produce a lot of garbage. As an Expo with the theme of the environment, of course, garbage disposal cannot be sloppy. Therefore, disposable tableware and garbage bags used in the World Expo are the latest degradable plastics made of plant raw materials. All the garbage can be used as farmland fertilizer after decomposition.
Clean energy is an important subject for building a future circular society. Expo Aichi will be held from March 25th to September 25th for half a year. On the issue of how to obtain green energy, the pavilions of the World Expo have their own magical powers. Toyota Pavilion set up a wind turbine near Aichi Prefecture as early as 1 year ago, and sold the generated electricity to the local power company, which then supplied power for the pavilion. Hitachi Pavilion has a solar panel in front of the pavilion, which can receive light from both sides and directly transmit electricity to the pavilion.
New transport system, used inside and outside the Aichi World Expo venues, also fully demonstrates environmental protection, advanced, convenient and humanized features, which complement each other and promote each other. It not only introduced the latest maglev train, fuel cell hybrid bus FCHV bus, IMTS multi-mode self-driving car, but also introduced battery-powered high-altitude cable car and bicycle taxi.
Although new technologies and new concepts are the most eye-catching attractions, the Aichi World Expo has also conveyed a message, that is, the lifestyle of living in harmony with the earth in the future does not necessarily require advanced technology and huge financial resources, but more often requires awareness and responsibility of paying attention to nuances.
