<p>Biopolis Phase One, designed by world renowned architect Zaha Hadid, is a 185,000 m² (2,000,000 ft²) biomedical complex of seven buildings that were constructed from June 2003 to March 2004 at a cost of S$500 million. They are namely: Nanos, Genome, Helios, Chromos, Proteos, Matrix and Centros. Several government agencies, publicly-funded research institutes and research labs of pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies are located there.<br />
Biopolis Phase Two was completed in October 2006, comprising two blocks, named Neuros and Immunos, which will house research on neuroscience  and immunology respectively. The seven-storey 37,000 m² complex was designed and constructed over 18 months at a cost of S$70 million. The new addition increases the Biopolis research complex to a total of 222,000 m²</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" /><strong>Special Exhibition till 8 August 2010</strong></p>
<p><strong>admission costs</strong>: ¥850 (600) </p>
<p>This exhibition of architecture consists entirely of new installations by seven groups of Japanese architects, representing a variety of ages and styles. To create &#8220;architecture,&#8221; architects are expected to deal with a variety of conditions. This requires a way of thinking that deftly balances logic, technique, and aesthetics. One might also argue that this profound sense of balance is what has led to the international recognition of Japanese architecture. In trying to determine the special characteristics of &#8220;architecture,&#8221; therefore, examining where and in what form it arises seems more viable than simply addressing the question, &#8220;What is architecture?&#8221; In this wide-ranging group of installations, including a space created out of three types of polyhedrons, a place where a &#8220;space&#8221; is &#8220;born and dies,&#8221; a summer house that resembles an animal, a video space that presents a day in the life of an architectural model, a fragile structure, and a field with a fantastic sense of scale, we invite the viewer to search for the architecture. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />The exhibition was designed by the creatives at Milla und Partner of  Stuttgart, the architecture by Schmidhuber + Kaindl of Munich, and  NUSSLI (Germany) GmbH from Roth near Nuremberg is responsible for the  construction work. The three firms have established a partnership under  civil law (Arbeitsgemeinschaft (ARGE) Deutscher Pavillon Shanghai GbR).</p>
<p><strong>website:</strong> <a href="http://www.expo2010-germany.com/" target="_blank">www.expo2010-germany.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Theme:</strong> Balancity &#8211; It is the epitome of a city, boasting the creation of a &#8220;harbor image&#8221; and a &#8220;dynamic tunnel&#8221; with urban scenes from Germany. This is the &#8220;Balancity,&#8221; a magnificent crystallization of Germanic originality and technology. The structure is wrapped in silver membrane. A terraced landscape stretches from the ground level up to the third floor of the pavilion. Four exhibition structures appear to hover, creating a perfect roof for visitors.</p>
<p><strong>Highlights:</strong><br />
Highlight 1: Metal Sphere &#8211; The highlight of the pavilion is a cone-shaped structure housing a revolving metal sphere, three meters in diameter and covered with LEDs, which will be activated by the noise and movement of spectators.<br />
Highlight 2: Virtual Narrators &#8211; Germany Pavilion&#8217;s virtual narrators Jens and Yan Yan will guide visitors to tour the pavilion. According to the plot, Jens, a male mechanics student in a German university, met female Chinese architect student Yan Yan in China. During the following parts of the exhibition, Yan Yan went to German and Jens introduced his lifestyle and the country to her. Visitor will follow the tour of the &#8220;narrators&#8221; to complete the visit of the pavilion.<br />
Highlight 3: Performance &#8211; Berlin Hip-hop Base may come to Expo 2010. Visitors will be able to experience the youth culture of Germany. The hip-hop culture is so vigorous that it has gone beyond the national and language barriers, spreading around the world and coming into the Germany Pavilion. Visitors will see the street dance, a type of &#8220;graffiti art&#8221; based on the urban culture and the &#8220;Open Air Jame&#8221; show empowered by the electrical source of street lights. Another great show is the vocal percussion, relying on nothing but artists&#8217; mouths and microphones in creating wonderful rhythms.</p>
<p><strong>National Pavilion Day:</strong> May 19</p>
<p><strong>Pavilion Area: </strong>Around 6,000 Square Meter</p>
<p><strong>getting to the expo site:</strong></p>
<p>For visitors’ convenience to the Expo Site, Shanghai is constructing a  comprehensive urban transport system and an Expo public transport  network which enables visitors to reach the Expo Site via rail transit,  bus and water transportation.</p>
<p>There is one metro line entrance/exit, eight ground entrances/exits,  four extra-Site and three intra-Site water gates.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Metro Line Entrance/exit : Puxi Section  - Madang Road Station of Metro Line 13</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Ground Entrance/exit :</p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;">Puxi Section - Entrance/exit at Luban  Road, South Xizang Road, Bansongyuan Road</p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;">Pudong Section - Entrance/exit at  Bailianjing, West Gaoke Road, Shangnan Road, Changqing Road, Houtan</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Water Entrance/exit:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;">Extra-Site Water Gate - Dongchang Road  Water Gate, Qichangzhan Water Gate, Shiliupu Water Gate, Qinhuangdao  Road Water Gate</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Intra-Site Water Gate</p>
<p style="padding-left: 120px;">Dock 1 (Miaojiang Road • Wangda Road)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 120px;">Dock 2 (Expo Avenue • Bailianjing Road)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 120px;">Dock 6 (Houtan Garden)</p>
<p><strong>Intra-Site Transport</strong></p>
<p>On most occasions, visitors can get to pavilions on foot in the Expo  Site.  Since the Expo Site is divided by the Huangpu River and there is  quite a distance between the zones, the Organizer sets up a public  transport system including metro line, bus and cross-river ferry.</p>
<p>Metro Line</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Metro Line 13 is designed to facilitate  visitors’ travelling between Pudong and Puxi Sections. There are Madang  Road Station, Lupu Bridge Station, and Expo Avenue Station on the line.</p>
<p>Ground Transport</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Five bus routes, including two  sightseeing routes, are designed to facilitate visitors’ touring in  Pudong or Puxi</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Section and traveling between the two  sections.</p>
<p>Water Transport</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Five ferry routes are designed to  facilitate visitors’ traveling between Pudong and Puxi Sections.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" /><strong>Highlights:</strong> Called The Sensual City, the pavilion is clad in a trellis-like structure and features a garden inside with plants growing on the walls, a roof garden and pools of water.<br />
The structure as a whole is “wrapped into” a huge wire mesh that is made of a new type concrete material, while featuring the plant walls, and water pools internal and external.</p>
<p><strong>getting to the expo site:</strong></p>
<p>For visitors’ convenience to the Expo Site, Shanghai is constructing a  comprehensive urban transport system and an Expo public transport  network which enables visitors to reach the Expo Site via rail transit,  bus and water transportation.</p>
<p>There is one metro line entrance/exit, eight ground entrances/exits,  four extra-Site and three intra-Site water gates.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Metro Line Entrance/exit : Puxi Section  &#8211; Madang Road Station of Metro Line 13</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Ground Entrance/exit :</p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;">Puxi Section &#8211; Entrance/exit at Luban  Road, South Xizang Road, Bansongyuan Road</p>
<p style="padding-left: 90px;">Pudong Section &#8211; Entrance/exit at  Bailianjing, West Gaoke Road, Shangnan Road, Changqing Road, Houtan</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Water Entrance/exit:</p>

<p style="padding-left: 120px;">Dock 6 (Houtan Garden)</p>
<p><strong>Intra-Site Transport</strong></p>
<p>On most occasions, visitors can get to pavilions on foot in the Expo  Site.  Since the Expo Site is divided by the Huangpu River and there is  quite a distance between the zones, the Organizer sets up a public  transport system including metro line, bus and cross-river ferry.</p>
<p>Metro Line</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Metro Line 13 is designed to facilitate  visitors’ travelling between Pudong and Puxi Sections. There are Madang  Road Station, Lupu Bridge Station, and Expo Avenue Station on the line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" /><strong>Theme:</strong> The Sensual City</p>
<p><strong>Highlights:</strong> A Style of Floating</p>
<p><span><strong>Theme:</strong> </span><span>Welfairytales</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Highlights:</strong> </span><span>Double Spiral</span></p>
<p>The pavilion is a double spiral with pedestrian and cycling lanes that  takes the visitors from the ground through two ramps, up to a level of  12 meters, and down again. The pavilion paints its steel structure  white, to represent the sailing traditions of the country and to help  keep the pavilion cool.</p>
<p>In the pavilion visitors will be able to borrow bicycles and cycle  throughout just as the Danes do in their cities. The concept of  sustainability is reflected in free bicycle riding. Riding a bike  through an area which is designed like Copenhagen streets will not only  evoke the real Danish lifestyle in the capital city, but also promote  environmentally friendly concepts. Denmark is a nation of bikes, and  Copenhagen is famous for its free city bikes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />Marina Bay Sands is a new type of urban place that integrates the Waterfront Promenade with a grand, multi-leveled retail arcade combining civic space, shopping, indoor and outdoor spaces endowed with city skyline views, daylight and plant life, providing an abundance and variety of activities. It is a place that is vibrant and dynamic, a place that transforms from hour to hour, from day to night, and is evocative of the great urban places. It is here that the imaginings of a global city become a reality. Marina Bay Sands, to be open in 2009, will feature three 50-story hotel towers containing 1,000 rooms each, crowned by a two acre Sky Garden bridging across the towers, offering 360-degree views of the city and the sea, outdoor amenities for the hotel such as jogging paths, swimming pools, spas, and gardens; an iconic Arts and Sciences Museum on the promontory; one-million square feet of integrated waterside promenade and shopping arcade; a state-of-the art one-million square foot convention center; two 2,000-seat theaters; a casino; and a 4,000 car garage.</p>
<p>construction cost: US $3.6 billion</p>
