The Seed Cathedral by Thomas Heatherwick represented the United Kingdom at the 2010 Shanghai Expo. This amazing work of sculptural architecture comprises 60,000 acrylic rods, each one bearing a plant seed at its inner tip. This building has dual roles– one to house and inform the visitors of the Shanghai Expo, and to also act as a seed bank to archive Earth's ecological history. The Expo was home to many great architectural achievements, where the Danish Pavilion and the South Korean Pavilion also stood out, but the Seed Cathedral was the most significant.
