I will try to update as much as possible in the future. Thanks for the patience!
Here are my analysis and interpretation of different storage container houses:
"Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow." --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The German Pavilion is a striking example of post-modern/futuristic architecture. The clear finish of the building provides welcoming aesthetics and the style of the pavilion is partially symbolic of Germany's strong economic position in the world; a high modern and industrial nation with aspirations for the futuristic age. One of my favorite parts of the Pavilion is the front side, marked by the characteristic colors of the German flag along with soft gray, but visually appealing words. This building, despite its arbitrary shape, is very pleasant and visually stunning proves that simple themes are very effective, however only when used correctly.
The Brazilian Pavilion
And here, is the bold Brazilian Pavilion. I like this pavilion because first of all, this design is very daring; it is not as futuristic and industrial looking and has a very unique color: green. Generally countries wanted to display their new economic strength by emphasizing on buildings that are next generation. But Brazil apparently likes to embrace what makes Brazil unique. Brazil is a developing nation, and also a fast growing one. But also, Brazil is also know for its soccer, its vivid rainforest and other things. This pavilion is a standing representation of Brazil's rainforest; in addition to its national colors (yellow and green). It does look pleasing, with a visibly striking green color that I personally think that in contrast with other pavilions will help the Brazilian Pavilion stand out.
The British Pavilion (Seed Cathedral)
The Chinese Pavilion
Images are sources found over Google.
The iconic pavilion of the host country (and my native country) is an giant red Asian Modernist style that towers over most of the other pavilions at the Expo. This structure of symbolic of the kind of Modern Asian style buildings that I would like to design when I become an architect. Red is an important color for the Chinese. It represents luck, happiness, prosperity and to some extent, love and good marriage. I really like this pavilion because it inspires awe because of the monumental nature of the structure. Try imagining yourself approaching the entrance. The inverted pyramid form of the structure creates an "overshadowing " effect as people ascend the staircase into the pavilion. The effect is created by taking advantage of the size of the structure. The other aspect that I like about this pavilion is that the structure uses characteristic Asian style beams into the upper part of the pavilion. One can't see from the pictures that I posted, but the ends of each beam (the end that is facing the observers) are carved with traditional Chinese patterns, to further emphasize the role of traditional culture in the Chinese pavilion. This incorporation of traditional building elements reflects not only China's economic surge (hence the size and splendor) but also a country's traditional elements are intact in all levels of modern Chinese society even as China becomes a growing modern industrial power.
