DESCRIPTION
In collaboration with the Cirque du Soleil, design exterior spaces at the Canada pavilion for the 2010 Shanghai world exposition. The courtyard is treated as a large urban gathering space, punctuated by tree-like sculptural features, flowing white furniture, minimalist water basin, and entertainment stage area. A 15 by 40-meter green wall of evergreen seedlings is a backdrop to the courtyard space. Individual plants have been located on the wall to illustrate an abstract plan view of Montreal’s St-Michel environmental complex.
