Latvian Pavilion

Latvian Pavilion

The façade, composed of 100,000 multi-coloured transparent plates, will sparkle and sway in the wind, generating a dynamic, kinetic effect. Designed for the 2010 Shanghai Exposition by Mailītis A.I.I.M, the Latvian Pavilion will also feature wind turbines located on the roof that will project a professional team of flying acrobats 20 metres into the night sky.
