The presentation was attended by around 50 officials, several news channels such as Shanghai Television (SMG), CCTV and Dragon TV and a handful of papers (including the Oriental Morning Post and the Shanghai Daily). The design has been received as an inspiring concept that well suits the World Expo&#8217;s theme: &#8220;Better City Better Life&#8221;. Shanghai&#8217;s Urban Planning Bureau is currently investigating the possibility of having the Floating Pavilion function as one of the five main entrances to the Shanghai World Expo area.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delta_Sync\/floatingEntrance2.jpg\" title=\"DS_Expo01\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ecoboot.nl\/ecoboot_new\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delta_Sync\/floatingEntranceTB.jpg\" alt=\"floating pavilion\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify\" class=\"MsoNormal\">The floating building features five interconnected bubble shaped domes which house a large auditorium, a 3d cinema, an exhibition space and a &#8216;skybar&#8217;, situated on top of the the tallest sphere. The shape is inspired on the natural phenomenon of bubbles, which have an optimal surface\/volume ratio. This shape offers an optimized building climate, but also ensures stability on water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify\" class=\"MsoNormal\">The design is intended as a pilot project for sustainable urbanization on water. A first step to overcome the predicted sea-level rise and a way of creating new space in the metropolitan city of Shanghai. Besides offering a solution for sealevel rise the design intends to contribute to sustainable technologies such as rain water harvesting and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems. The pavilion can also be re-situated after the World Expo has ended, in order to receive a new place and function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Juli\u00a0the DeltaSync-team of the TU Delft, together with the municipality of Rotterdam, presented the concept of a Floating Pavilion to the World Expo Committee in Shanghai.
