Whale-inspired pavilion to unite us all

Posted in Architecture,Images by Scott Meisner on November 9th, 2009

“Fluid,” designed by Australian architects Peddle Thorp.

Fluid, a pavilion shaped like a whale, is currently under contruction and being built for World Expo 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea.

“The architects hope the design will draw attention to the preservation of oceans and ecosystems, and encourage greater collaboration between Asian and Pacific countries.”  It’s been reported that there is no information whether or not Fluid will make it to the US.  Because it can float from harbor to harbor around the world and hold various events inside it.
