Tall wall of the pavilion

Shanghai, China

Ningbo Tengtou Pavilion

The pavilion represented a village from a nearby city at a world exhibition. It was designed by a Chinese practice.

Its tall walls are built of reclaimed bricks and tiles, laid in the mixed manner used in the region’s traditional houses. Openings in the walls frame small gardens planted inside.

Within the dense exhibition grounds, the pavilion offered a glimpse of rural life and of the materials salvaged from demolished villages.
