Helen & Hard Architects designed this pavilion to represent Norway at the Shanghai World Expo of 2010, the expo had the theme of "Better City, Better Life" with a focus on sustainable urban design. The use of wood panels in this design really emphasizes the concept of sustainable design because the pavilion can easily be assembled and disassembled and the materials can be reused after its temporary use for the expo. The materials used in the pavilion is from 15 trees and each piece has a functional use. The architects also used the space between each panel for exhibition, allowing visitors to interact with the pavilion and the materials. This pavilion was awarded the Silver Medal within the expo for best design.
