2015的米蘭世博（Expo Milano）以「滋養地球，生命的能源 Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life」為主題，再次證明國際社會對環保議題及綠建築的關注。這同時也是各國能盡情展示其建築設計上先進手法與創新概念的最佳時機。像是義大利館「給義大利的吃煙展館Smog-Eating Pavilion for
Italy」，設計團隊在佔地約13,000平方公尺的建地上打造一座「會吃煙的都會森林」，或是由瑞士團隊運用木材與玻璃等環保建材打造而成的 4 座食物塔，透明的塔身讓遊客們身歷其境，一塊見證食物遞減時塔台降低的情景變化。
各國家館除其符合主題所呈現出的功能性外，其新奇的造型也是焦點之一。來自羅馬尼亞的攝影師Laurian Ghinitoiu便以其攝影角度選出了心目中最佳的五件國家館作品，並做了一小小的評論。來看看若以建築師的角度欣賞的話，會有什麼不同的觀點呢?
1.英國館
以169,300片金屬，加上燈光與音響效果所組成如蜂窩狀的英國館，完美地展現出藝術、工程與建築之美，為遊客帶來了強烈的震撼感。
2.奧地利館
在奧地利館的微型森林中，遊客被邀請進入親身體驗微型森林中清新的空氣。微型森林的氣溫大約比一般森林還要低個攝式6度，就像是在米蘭的污染空氣中飄著一個充滿氧氣的泡泡般，讓遊客的感官能有更深刻的體驗。
3.巴西館
在融合了建築與透視的手法下，巴西館創造出最活潑及富有樂趣的一處廣場。懸吊於半空中的堅固金屬網與彎曲的造型，在遊客行走時創造出更多對展館的好奇感。
4.阿拉伯聯合大公國館
由著名建築師Norman Foster操刀的阿拉伯聯合大公國國家館，在光與影之間做了最完美的詮釋。二處高達12公尺的結構性巨牆，在有趣之下又能精準地引導遊客前往一處金子材質的會議廳。阿拉伯聯合大公國國家館也是少數幾個國家館在展期結束後仍能重覆使用的展館，而在國家館中身著阿拉伯傳統黑白服飾的招待人員亦是視覺上的亮點之一。
5.韓國館
韓國國家館以簡單的標語「We are what we eat」為主題來表現出一種內省的感覺。國家館造型的構想來自當地傳統被稱為是「月亮罈」的一種瓷器造型，在美麗的簡潔曲線與細微的特徵中定義出國家館的形貌。

The top 5 pavilions Milan Expo／Laurian Ghinitoiu
Romanian photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu has shared his photos of the Expo Milan, along with his ranking of the top 5 pavilions. Read on to see his beautiful collection of images accompanied by his
short remarks on the merits of the designs.
1. UK
As expected — bearing in mind last year’s expo — the UK pavilion strikes again, perfectly merging art, engineering and architecture. Very conceptual, the beehive is in fact a thoroughly executed
installation of 169,300 metal pieces, lights and sounds, complemented by the strong emotions of the visitors. – LG
2. Austria
In the middle of the expo, Austria invites you to charge your batteries and breathe fresh air in their miniature forest (with temperature being approximately 6 degrees less than the general one). A
bubble of oxygen in the warm and polluted city of Milan, this is one of the few pavilions that one can experience with his/her senses. – LG
3. Brazil
By merging architecture and scenography, the Brazilian pavilion creates the most dynamic and playful “plaza.” The rigid metal grid and the sinuous path acts as an attractor that arouses continuous
curiosity. – LG
4. UAE
Norman Foster designed an impeccable scenography based on the strong contrast between light and shadow. Two giant textured walls (12m high) define a playful, but precise pathway which guides
visitors towards a gold metal auditorium. It is one of the few pavilions which was designed with the intent to continue its life even after Expo’s finishes. Hosts, dressed in their black & white
traditional clothes, also contribute to the visual impact of the scene. – LG
5. South Korea
With the simple theme “We are what we eat,” the Korean pavilion is one of the most introspective pavilions. The design was inspired by traditional porcelain pot (the “moon jar”) and has a delicate
simplicity of curves and subtle accents which define the overall shape of the pavilion. - LG
