Features: In 2005, Japan held the World Expo in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, with the theme "Nature's Wisdom." Its purpose was to explore a sustainable development model that harmonizes humans and nature. This expo reflected the concept of sustainable development in various aspects of its site planning and pavilion construction. This book is themed around this World Expo, presented in a richly illustrated format, covering everything from the project initiation of the expo to the establishment of its thematic ideas, the site planning, and the introduction of the architectural features 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 authors hope that by introducing these highly distinctive sustainable planning and design examples, they can allow those who did not attend the World Expo in Japan to experience the grandeur of the event, thereby inspiring designers in China's architectural field to expand their perspectives on sustainable design.
