The UK pavilion at Expo 2010, colloquially known as the Seed Cathedral, was a sculpture structure built by a nine-member conglomeration of British business and government resources directed by designer Thomas Heatherwick. It referenced the race to save seeds from round the world in banks, and housed 250,000 plant seeds at the end of 60,000 acrylic rods projecting from the walls of the building. The structure stood where it was built, at a cost of £25 million, in Shanghai for the 2010 World Expo and won the BIE gold award for best pavilion design.

  • 中国2010年上海世界博览会英国馆是2010年上海世博会上代表英国的展馆，位于世博园区C片区。其主题是“传承经典，铸就未来”，被称为“会发光的盒子”。该馆設計人是托馬斯·赫斯維克，形象代言人为英国女高音莎拉·布莱曼。 英国馆共有四部分组成，分别为“绿色城市”、“开放城市”、“种子殿堂”和“活力城市”。其中最大的亮点是一个六层楼高、立方体的“种子殿堂”，它的周围插了大约6万根透明的亚克力杆。这些亚克力杆会随风摇摆。白天，光线可以透用亚克力杆照亮内部。而晚上，则能够通过杆内的LED白色光源进行照明。同时，在每一根杆内部都含有不同种类的种子。这些种子是由邱园与昆明植物研究所合作的种子银行所提供。 在展馆周围的空地上，还建有形同的遮阳处，观众能够在折起部分下乘凉。 (zh)

The UK Pavilion catered to over 100 public and private sector events, hundreds of VIP and dignitary visits and over seven million general public visitors during the 6 months of Expo. The cathedral has now been dismantled, with some rods donated to schools, some donated to the and some being auctioned for charity. (en)
