Irish Pavilion - Art of Life

The authors of the Irish pavilion bet on traditions, historical heritage and proved mean, emphasizing on the importance of the Irish culture wich originates from the Celtic culture. The Celtic people are quite religious, with their music exhibiting graceful, sorrowful and mysterious elements. These elements are fully reflected in the design and exhibition of the Irish Pavilion.The space design of the pavilion also features a proper balance between closed and open, reflecting a significant degree of freedom and elasticity in the design.

The core of the pavilion of 1,500 m² will be an exposition presenting Celtic arts. The central, circular yard will be towered over by characteristic stone crosses brought over from Irish churches and abbeys which symbolize the Golden Age of Irish culture. It relates a story about Christianization of Europe. Similar exposition was introduced by the Irish at the EXPO 2005 in Aichi. This was the first time they took these items out of the country. They don’t intend to experiment in China and will offer the mysterious and sacred atmosphere in combination with film and audio teasers from the stunning Irish nature. Visitors will also get a feel of Dublin's famous Liffey River and walk down a re-creation of O'Connell Street, another landmark of the Irish capital. A military barracks dating back to 1722 also helps trace the city's history.
