Looking to the East, LWK + PARTNERS, a leading design firm rooted in Hong Kong will unveil their conceptual pagoda.

A vessel for display and engagement, Cool Contemporary China is a dynamic canvas for the exhibition of the diversity of every day Chinese life and culture.

Envisioned as an abstract collage of Chinese motifs, the pavilion’s form is inspired by traditional Chinese art, architecture and cultural landscape. Creating an enigmatic visual and spatial experience, the pavilion sits as a drum within a drum.

Paying homage to China’s rich filigree heritage, a metal mesh wraps the outer shell and will serve as a projection screen for Chinese life and culture - from simple illustrations of the everyday to contemporary art .

Openings in the skin will draw the visitor into the inner passage, leading to the central chamber. Inside, an engaging visual and audio installation immerses the viewer within the darkened and enclosed environment.
