<P>In&nbsp; my opinion Bjarke Ingels, founder of <A
href="http://www.big.dk">BIG</A>, is one of the best architects when it comes to
give shape to the interests of an “unspoken” client on public buildings,either
representing the values of a country or a culture. All with exceptional syntax
and presentation skills.</P>
<P>And <A href="http://www.big.dk">BIG</A>’s latest project (in collaboration
with <A href="http://www.arup.com">Arup</A> and 2+1), the Danish Pavilion for
the Shanghai 2010 Expo, does it again, by taking the best of living in
Copenhagen and placing it on China for visitors to experience.</P>

<P>Basically, the pavilion is a big loop on which visitors ride around on one of
the 1,500 bikes available at the entrance, a chance to experience the Danish
urban way. At the center of the pavilion there’s a big pool with fresh water
from Copenhagen’s harbor, on which visitors can even swim.</P>
