ShContemporary 10

World Expositions are the largest exhibition events in the world, giving each country the opportunity to showcase their country's creative power. Since 1851 when the Great Exhibition of Industries of All Nations was held in London, the World Expositions have attained increasing prominence as grand events for economic, scientific, technological and cultural exchanges, serving as an important platform for displaying historical experience, exchanging innovative ideas, demonstrating esprit de corps and looking to the future. Perhaps the most famous legacy of any World Fair is the Eiffel Tower. Now, each country wishes to create powerful architectural statements through building spectacular national pavilions, each encapsulating a country's aspirations.

Taking place between 1st May – 31st October 2010, the Expo 2010 is forecast to attract 70 million visitors from home and abroad to see showcases of over 200 nations and international organizations, making it the biggest event on earth.
