Expo 2000

Architectural Review, The, June, 2000

www.Baunetz.de/expo/

Perhaps the most topical of all architectural sites at the moment is the Baunetz guide to Hanover Expo which opened on 1 June. It is remarkably thorough, with a complete list of pavilions: national, commercial and thematic. Using the national pavilion list for instance, you can scroll through all the designs, each with a small image and very brief description (including architects' names). These entries can be further probed individually, leading to further information on each site (usually with more images and extended descriptions), but these vary in detail depending on what the architects or countries have decided to make available. Searches can also he carried out by architects' names.

A remarkably thorough compilation by Bauwelt, the excellent German weekly architectural magazine, though at the time of writing, all buildings are shown graphically as projects and Baunetz/expo/ is in German. But even to a non-German speaker, its architectural coverage is a great deal better than the official Expo site www.expo2000.de which does have an English version and gives up-to-date information on events, tickets and so on, as well as background information on the whole affair.
