35. Germany Pavilion – “Seavolution”
Company – The country of Germany offered its own pavilion to represent the theme The Living Ocean and Coast.
Project Description
The German Pavilion interprets the main theme with a balanced mix of in-depth and serious scientific information und fun entertainment for adults and children alike. The latest and complex research and development themes are presented in a light way, easy to access and understand, giving a lot of visitors the opportunity to experience interactive and attractive displays, all orchestrated in an overall concept. The pavilion presents all displays and all content in 5 languages, thus catering for the international visitor profile of a world expo.
The German Pavilion takes the visitor on a journey from the German coast deep down to the bottom of the ocean. The pavilion bears the name “SEAVOLUTION” and is divided into three thematic environments, “Coasts”, “Biotope” (ocean ecosystems) and “Treasure Chamber” (resources on the sea bed). In the theme worlds, the visitor will go on an entertaining voyage of discovery and will be engaged through 20 interactive and playful displays. Each display uses a different way to communicate and engage the visitor and gives various levels of information depth. Augmented reality and a specially created smart phone app give the visitor an opportunity to conveniently take all the thrills und information back home in his pocket.

36. To help entertain queuing crowds in the waiting area in front of the pavilion, visitors can test their knowledge about Germany with a quiz and are invited to download a smart phone app. A robot mascot greets visitors and makes many children’s day. Han-S, as he is called and his little crab companion Han-2-Beta accompany visitors throughout the pavilion, appearing in the displays, offering advice and guidance through the interactive journey.
When they enter the pavilion, a pre-show film greets visitors showing the German coasts of the North and Baltic Seas. The entire projection wall then suddenly opens up with giant rotating gates, inviting the visitor into a beach and dune landscape with multimedia beach chairs set in a sandy floor. With interactive animations, topics are presented relating to “Coasts”, such as environmentally-friendly ships, wind and tidal power stations or tsunami early warning systems. Special on location photo shooting provided the giant backdrops that were carefully integrated in the architectural space and in combination with intelligent lighting, sound design and real fluttering flags, an illusion of a sunny and vibrant beach scenario is perfectly created.
Through a light trap, one then reaches the darker thematic environment of the “Biotope” zone, where the ocean habitat is shown as the largest ecosystem on earth. Subjects such as waste in the sea, the hazards of overfishing and other surprises of the ocean deep are presented with hands-on displays. Special wall graphics show a range of living creatures which appear and disappear with changes in the ambient lighting colour from red to green to blue. The colour changes are underlined by matching light changes in the displays themselves.

37. Through another light lock, the visitors discover the golden “Treasure Chamber”, which focuses on the resource diversity of the ocean floor. A several million year-old manganese nodule from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is the symbol of the enormous quantities of natural resources in the deep sea that are still waiting to be extracted. Other exhibits such as the eco-friendly excavation of ores and methane hydrates show how man is currently trying to explore the sea bed, which to a large extent is still virtually unknown. The “Treasure Chamber” space is enclosed in a golden crystalline structure and all displays are integrated in casings that resemble treasure chests.
In--depth information is provided at all display stations in the German Pavilion with many animations and film clips, avoiding the use of text panels. Over 120 film clips were especially created for the German Pavilion, making technical subjects easy and fun to absorb. A hidden sound system with focussing loudspeakers gives background information in any of the 5 languages (Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese and German), selected by a push button at each display station. Every theme zone contains a special display for children, where an interactive game combines humour, fun and subtlety to convey the basic subject matter of a particular theme and helps the young visitor to understand the more serious messages of the pavilion and its main show.
The absolute highlight of the German Pavilion is the main show, where the visitor can experience a deep sea dive set in the future in Visitors experience a world premier by being totally surrounded in an immersive projection environment. Like in a glass sphere, visitors dive to the sea bed to future mining sites and experience the extraction of natural resources by robotic creatures. A 4 minute photo-realistic computer animation in 6 fold HD resolution sets new standards in high-tech savvy Korea and with a touch of humour and emotions gets children and adults alike waving at whales and sitting on the edge of glass seats set on a glass floor. A state-of-the-art sound system with 64 loudspeakers underlines the three-dimensional underwater experience.

38. In the design of the display elements in all 3 exhibition spaces the design of the interior complemented with graphics, lighting, interactive terminals and sound composition is carefully fine-tuned to create a unique ambience, making the journey from the coast down to the deep of the ocean a very special and memorable experience.
With a total space of around 1,700 square metres, the German Pavilion stretches over 2 levels. To round off a visit, one can enjoy some traditional German food and beers in the German Restaurant and pick up a souvenir in the shop.
