Exhibits

It will be found that the "Chinese element" has become the source of inspiration for many young Swiss designers.

Designer Arienne Birchler's 09 women's wear series will bring women's femininity, elegance and sensitivity to the extreme, full of modernity and full of poetic flavor.

One of her inspirations is Chinese director Wong Kar Wai, whose unique sad atmosphere, ambiguous desire, unique tone and nostalgia and modern combination can be found in the design.

In the Swiss Pavilion at the same day, there was also a huge red inflatable building "container".

It is jointly built by Swiss artist Sandra Kong and Yang Jian, a Chinese artist.

Sandra Kong Zi told reporters that she often traveled between Switzerland and China and worked in Xiamen for many years, and found many interesting designs of many suburban self built residential buildings, blending some characteristics of Chinese and Swiss local culture.

The container is replicated according to a local residence. It contains both the Chinese Temple's glass roof and the European style gate posts and corridors. The wall is the style of Suzhou gardens.

Inspired by this, she and Yang Jian joined hands in creating a work of architectural space that integrates the aesthetic and cultural heritage of China and Switzerland.
