The recent proposal for the thematic pavilion of the World expo 2012 by Peddle Thorp Architects is a unique floating space. Designed for the event to be held in Yeosu, Korea, the center is to be built as a vessel – a floating exhibition space that can be sailed to other cities. While it represents who architecture can be futuristic, it shows the immense sustainable options ideas available if people can work at it. It also pushes ahead, a multidisciplinary solution to challenges.

The floating space schematic design is done to be anchored to the coastline, almost like a living organism would do, rising and falling with the tides.

That oceans and humans are interdependent is the core theme of this, while the architectural form draws on the curves and fluidity of living beings in the ocean. So much a far cry from the angled rigidity we see in architecture around us!
Once the pavilion is done with the expo, it could be continued to host a range of events, in other coastal cities too. The design has been conceived by Antoine Damery.
