Those crazy Chinese took their crazy watercube bubble thing from the Olympics and turned it into a crazy indoor waterpark complete with giant jellyfish. (via)

Pavilions

Archdaily has posted some photos of the Shanghai Expo Pavilions. Some are coolish (the UK's is the only one that turned out great). My favorite is above - Romania's - because it looks like a squat green SunSphere.

"During four weeks a robot of the ETH Zurich will built the ‘Pike Loop’ installation on a traffic island in the middle of New York. From 5 October passersby will be able to follow the construction of the bending brick wall, which will be finished 27 October and last until the end of the year. The installation and its unique construction method was developed by the professorship of Gramazio & Kohler ‘Architecture and Digital Fabrication’ at the ETH Zurich. The research of this professorship will be presented within the attendant exhibition „Digital Materiality“ in the „Storefront for Art and Architecture“ gallery from 1 October til 14 November." (via)
