The theme of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo is “Better City, Better Life”, and the special theme for the Hong Kong Pavilion is “Hong Kong - a city with unlimited potential“. A concept design competition that received some 80+ submissions. "Our submission was awarded the First Prize, and formed the basis for the final design and execution by the government and another architectural firm."
"Our design is driven by the functional needs of the pavilion, that is how to provide the required exhibition space and other facilities within a limited space and with a height limit; and to make the Hong Kong Pavilion, which is much smaller in size than the other pavilions, to still have its own attraction and uniqueness."

When we got invited to an international competition for the refurbishment of the area, we went there to take a look. What we found was strangely intriguing.
