Shanghai World Expo Meteorological Pavilion
Introduction
Cheung Kong Intelligent Connection Equipment Engineering Ltd. (CKIC) is proud to present the Shanghai World Expo Meteorological Pavilion project, a remarkable achievement that underscores our expertise in membrane structures and our commitment to delivering innovative solutions on a global scale. Located in the vibrant city of Shanghai, this pavilion serves as a key feature of the World Expo, showcasing advancements in meteorological science and technology.
Project Overview
Project Name: Shanghai World Expo Meteorological Pavilion
Location: Shanghai, China
Membrane Material: PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
The Shanghai World Expo Meteorological Pavilion is designed to educate visitors about weather phenomena and climate science while providing a visually stunning architectural experience. The pavilion’s unique design features a striking membrane structure that enhances its aesthetic appeal while ensuring functionality and durability.

Membrane Structure Design
The pavilion utilizes high-performance PVDF membrane material, known for its exceptional strength, resistance to UV radiation, and longevity. This material not only contributes to the pavilion’s striking appearance but also ensures that it can withstand the diverse environmental conditions typical of Shanghai.
The pavilion’s design incorporates a series of dynamic, flowing forms that mimic natural weather patterns, creating an immersive experience for visitors. The use of membrane structures allows for expansive, column-free interiors, enabling flexible exhibition layouts and maximizing usable space.
Engineering Excellence
At CKIC, our engineering team meticulously planned and executed the design of the Meteorological Pavilion to meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and sustainability. The pavilion’s structure is engineered to withstand wind loads and other environmental stresses, ensuring that it remains safe and stable throughout its lifecycle.
The PVDF membrane is treated to enhance its self-cleaning properties, allowing the pavilion to maintain its pristine appearance with minimal maintenance. This feature is particularly important for a facility that attracts a large number of visitors and aims to provide an engaging and educational experience.
Innovative Features
The Shanghai World Expo Meteorological Pavilion boasts several innovative features that enhance its functionality and visitor experience:
- Interactive Exhibits: The pavilion is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including interactive displays and simulations that allow visitors to engage with meteorological concepts and phenomena. This hands-on approach enhances learning and makes the experience enjoyable for people of all ages.
- Sustainable Design: CKIC is committed to sustainability, and the pavilion reflects this ethos. The design incorporates energy-efficient systems, including natural ventilation and daylighting, reducing the building’s overall energy consumption.
- Flexible Space Utilization: The column-free interior design allows for versatile use of space, accommodating a variety of exhibitions, presentations, and events. This flexibility ensures that the pavilion can adapt to changing needs over time.
