Well, the Shanghai Expo in May is going to be
huge if one judges by the kind of pavilions different nations are building to impress. Some time ago I was looking at the Dutch one, but the British "
Seed Cathedral" certainly beats it. It will be made of 60 000 fiber cables (each 7,5 m long) with various seeds at the end, celebrating the bio diversity, etc. etc but mostly impressing visitors. The concept is that that it would absorb light during the day and illuminate the area in the evening. Here are some pictures of the contruction-in-progress, and the studio drawings, via

Вижте павилиона на Великобритания за международното изложение в Шанхай през м.май т.г.- ще бъде изработен от над 60 хил. оптични кабела с различни семена накрая (в чест на био-разнообразието, и оттук- името "Катедралата на семената") и ще събира светлина през деня, отделяйки я вечерта.
