  • 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)
