China woos foreign investors with a $38.7 million Seed Cathedral
The Chinese never seem to give up on pulling out surprises! A new Seed Cathedral is being built as the centerpiece to the United Kingdom Pavilion, Shanghai World Expo site at Shanghai. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the 20-meter tall Seed Cathedral is covered with by 60,000 slim transparent acrylic rods which will move with the breeze. Each of the 7.5-metre long acrylic spike contains a single seed which allows light into the building during the day and illuminates after dark. The World Expo which features the building will start later in 2010 and will be on for six months.
