Inspired by the traditional motif of folk art papercut crafts, Polish architects won the bid to design the Polish Pavilion at Shanghai's Expo 2010.
The result is an eye-catching pavilion that looks like a folded sheet of paper with a cutout exterior. It will make an unforgettable impression during the day as the light plays around the building's interesting shapes. And at night, the Polish Pavilion will defiantly stand out and give the crowd a mesmerizing experience.
