Back in June 2009 we featured the Danish Pavilion by Bjarke Ingels on its conceptual stage, then we featured some pictures in arquinauta once it opened to the public and now we present a video where you have the chance to “ride” the pavilion with its author, Bjarke Ingels from BIG and get a closer experience of the loop the pavilion offers to the visitors.
From XPO, editor of the video:
We reintroduce the bicycle in Shanghai as a symbol of modern lifestyle and sustainable urban development. The Danish Pavilion and the entire exhibition can be experienced on Danish designed city bikes that are free for the guests to use. The building is designed as a double spiral with pedestrian and cycle lanes taking you from the ground and through curves up to a level of 12 meters and down again. In this way you can experience the Danish exhibition both inside and outside at two speeds – as calm stroll with time to absorb the surroundings or as a bicycle trip, where the city and city life drift past.
