Central and South American Joint Pavilion is built from old industurial site

Mentioning Central and South America, samba, tango, rumba and many other kinds of dances in the remote continents dazzle people's minds. Fortunately in 2010, people will be able to enjoy the wonderful Latin American songs and dances without leaving the country at a spacious square in front of the Central and South American Joint Pavilion.

The second floor stairs will make people feel the  collision between old and modern things.

A design to renovate the old Shanghai No.3 Steel Works

Most Central and South American countries choose to participate in the Shanghai World Expo either at rented pavilions or joint pavilions provided by the expo organizer.

Except Brazil and Argentina taht will use rented pavilions, quite a number of other Central and South American countries will gather together before May 1 2010at the Central and South American Joint Pavilion, which covers an area of over 10,000 square meters and will vividly showcase the charming local folk customs and the tremendous social and economic achievements made by the Latin American countries.

Exhibitors who enter the pavilion may not know that the spacious area was originally a thick plate shop of the Shanghai No.3 Steel Works, a typical industrial building constructed at the end of the last century. In the sun, the dark reddish brown and gray high pillars line up all neatly. Although it seems dull, the reporter is unwilling to leave every time and wonders how spectacular it was when crimson steel plates were rolled in and where the former workers are now. Raise your head and look at the blue and silent sky for a long period, then look at the words of "Central and South American Joint Pavilion" on the door. The old green steel frames still look very vigorous.
