架构师提供的文本描述。中国馆摒弃了传统的文化亭作为广场上的一个对象的概念，而是被视为一个空间的领域。这座展馆被设想为一片“希望之地”上空的云朵，在漂浮的屋顶下，体验着一系列的公共项目，其独特的设计为该项目创造了一个标志性的形象，并在世博园区内独树一帜。

Text description provided by the architects. Rejecting the typical notion of a cultural pavilion as an object in a plaza, the China Pavilion is instead conceived as a field of spaces. Envisioned as a cloud hovering over a “land of hope”, the Pavilion is experienced as a series of public programs located beneath a floating roof, the unique design of which creates an iconic image for the project and a unique presence within the Expo grounds.

中国馆的主题是“希望之地”。该项目通过其起伏的屋顶形式体现了这一点，它将建筑物北侧的城市天际线轮廓与南侧的景观轮廓相结合，表达了“希望”可以在城市与自然和谐共存的情况下实现的想法。作为一种木结构，借鉴中国传统建筑中的“高梁”体系，展馆屋顶还利用现代技术创造出适合建筑物公共性质的大跨度。屋顶上覆盖着参照传统陶器屋顶建筑的瓦状板，但被重新解释为大的竹叶，它增强了屋顶的轮廓，同时遮住了下面的公共空间。这些面板设计成层次分明的屏幕，为展馆的屋顶增添了纹理和深度，并在下面创造了令人回味的光线和透明效果。

The theme for the China Pavilion is “The Land of Hope”. The project embodies this through its undulating roof form, derived by merging the profile of a city skyline on the building’s north side with the profile of a landscape on the south side, expressing the idea that “hope” can be realized when city and nature exist in harmony. Conceived as a timber structure that references the “raised-beam” system found in traditional Chinese architecture, the Pavilion roof also uses modern technology to create long spans appropriate to the building’s public nature. The roof is covered in shingled panels that reference traditional pottery roof construction, but are reinterpreted as large bamboo leaves that enhance the roof profile while shading the public spaces below. Designed as layered screens, these panels add texture and depth to the Pavilion’s roof and create evocative light and transparency effects below.

在屋顶下，建筑物的地面是由一片麦地(“希望之地”)定义的，它代表了中国的农业历史。这种自然景观无缝地过渡到一个LED多媒体安装在中心，构成了建筑的展览计划的核心。

Beneath the roof, the building’s ground plane is defined by a landscape of wheat (the “land of hope”) that references China’s agrarian past. This natural landscape transitions seamlessly into an LED multimedia installation in the center that forms the centerpiece of the building’s exhibition program.

展馆的全部展览和文化服务都经历了一系列的空间，从景观中的一个外部等待区开始，形成了一个主题展览空间，有来自中国不同省份的互动设施和文化产品。在此之后，游客被引导上一个缓缓倾斜的公共楼梯，来到多媒体设施上方的全景观看平台，然后引导他们进入一个多媒体空间，其中有一部以中国春节期间家庭团聚为主题的短片。这一序列结束时，游客走出大楼，登上竹屋顶上方的平台，欣赏世博园区的广阔景色。

The Pavilion’s full exhibition and cultural offerings are experienced as a sequence of spaces, beginning with an exterior waiting area in the landscape, leading to a themed exhibition space with interactive installations and cultural offerings from different Chinese provinces. After this, visitors are guided up a gently sloped public stair to a panoramic viewing platform above the multimedia installation, after which they are guided into a multimedia space featuring a short film focusing on family reunions during China’s annual Spring Festival. This sequence concludes with visitors stepping outside the building onto a platform above the bamboo roof that enjoys expansive views of the Expo grounds.
