The Taiwan Pavilion Expo 2010 uses multi-layered multimedia
performances to convey the building’s core concept, “Mountain,
Water, & Lantern of the Heart.” In day and night two
different appearances, visitors from around the world
will marvel at the huge LED ball representing “The Heart
of Taiwan” and its lantern screen which projects a wide
array of spectacular views of the island that echo one
another. The concrete LED ball is constantly encircled
by moving virtual images, including thousands of flying
butterflies and a deep-sea experience. Taiwan’s creativity,
sustainability of nature and local arts are among other
stunning themes and visions that the Pavilion will share
with the world.
The Taiwan Pavilion’s “Lantern of the Heart” is also surrounded
by a rimless pool at the foundation to symbolize the Pacific
Ocean, while the water from Sun Moon Lake, ceramic butterflies
made in Yingge and actual rocks from Jade Mountain serve
as metaphors of five harmonious elements of the East:
metal, wood, water, fire and earth. When visitors step
onto the sky lantern lighting stage, it will seem as taking
a step onto Taiwan’s very soil. When people light the
sky lanterns, they are expressing their wish for harmony
in the world, as well as their hope to “go back to nature”
in “future cities.” Each activity designed by the Taiwan
Pavilion aims to realize the dream of maximizing harmony
in our lives and to share a new vision of the 21st century
with the world which is also the essence of the Taiwanese
spirit.
