Heatherwick Studio：2010年上海世博会英国馆设计比赛的获胜者是Heatherwick Studio。上海世博会的主题有关于城市与未来，所以我们的设计从城市与自然的关系入手。英国是世界上绿色面积最大的城市，有许多公园、广场、树木和花园，伦敦也是世界上第一个大型植物园——邱园的所在地。
Heatherwick Studio：The studio won the competition to design the UK pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. The expo’s theme was the future of cities so we looked at the relationship of cities to nature. British cities are the greenest of their size in the world, with their parks, squares, trees and gardens, and London is also home to the world’s first major botanical institution, Kew Gardens.
邱园中旨在保护世界上25%野生植物种子的千年种子库给了我们灵感，即用一个特殊的纹理结构作为连接建筑及其内容的方式，展馆也可以变成一个种子教堂。
Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank aims to preserve the seeds of 25 per cent of the world’s wild plant species. This collection gave us the idea of making a structure with an extraordinary texture as a way of connecting the building with its content. The pavilion could be a cathedral to seeds.
这个种子大教堂由一个宽15米、高10米的盒子组成，其六万根银白色“头发”从展馆四面八方伸向空中，从盒子的墙壁延伸到盒子内部的每根“头发”都是一根7.5米长的丙烯酸棒，25万颗种子存放在玻璃状头发的顶端。
The finished Seed Cathedral consisted of a box, 15m wide and 10m high. Its 60,000 silvery, tingling hairs protruded from every surface, lifting it into the air. Each hair is a 7.5-metre acrylic rod, which extended through the walls of the box into its interior. Cast into the glass-like tips of the hairs, were 250,000 seeds.
白天，光线沿着种子大教堂的每根亚克力棒照射进来，只靠阳光就能提供照明。到了晚上，小棒里面隐藏的小灯亮起，照亮展馆里面的种子末端和展馆外面摇曳的根尖。
世博会期间，共有超800万人参观了它，是英国最受欢迎的旅游景点，并获得了展馆设计金奖。
By day the Seed Cathedral was lit only by the sunlight that was drawn in along the length of each acrylic hair. By night, tiny hidden lights inside the rods illuminated both the seed ends inside the pavilion and the swaying tips outside.
During the Expo over eight million people visited it, making it the UK’s busiest tourist attraction. It was awarded the gold medal for Pavilion Design.
