Pavilion Preview
Theme: Urban Symphony
Theme: Urban Symphony
Highlights: A Smart "Music Box"
National Pavilion Day: August 7 (never knew we had a Nat Pavilion Day, where's my ph? O_O)
Pavilion Area: Around 3,000 Square Meters
Highlight 1: Unique Design
Unique Design Supported by four columns of different profiles, the entire structural system features floors of different shapes and sizes, connected by ramps and stairs suspended from trusses smoothly, to form a tensional balance, which symbolizes a harmonious coexistence of people who live, work and have fun in Singapore.

Highlight 2: "Hanging Garden"
"Hanging Garden" The unique Singapore experience will culminate in the "Hanging Garden" - a rooftop garden landscaped with mysterious flora and music fountains. Here visitors will get a first-hand feel of Singapore as a Garden City.

Highlight 3: Environmental Protection
Singapore Pavilion also highlights its environment-friendly design. Facade slits and chilled water along the perimeter of the ground floor centre space will help reduce massive energy consumption whilst recyclable building materials will feature extensively.
Highlight 4: Beautiful Night View
Beautiful Night View Fountains at the square outside of the pavilion is a prelude of "Urban Symphony". When night falls, dazzling light rays flow out from the interlaced windows and facade slits, rendering the "Music Box" with more charming beauties.
