Features: In 2005, Japan held a World Expo in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, themed "Nature's Wisdom," with the aim of exploring a sustainable development model that harmonizes human and nature. This expo reflected the concept of sustainable development in various aspects of its site planning and pavilion construction. This book takes the World Expo as its theme, presenting it in a visually rich format, covering everything from the project proposal of the Expo to the establishment of its thematic ideas, the site planning, and then introducing the characteristics of each country's pavilion, as well as the environmental and sustainable technologies embedded within them. It concludes with an outlook on the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The author hopes that by introducing these highly distinctive sustainable planning and design examples, individuals who did not attend the World Expo in Aichi, Japan, can still experience the grandeur of the event, thereby inspiring designers in China's architectural field to broaden their perspectives on sustainable design.
