About the Speaker: Professor He JingtangSouth China University of Technology
Prof. HE was authorized as 1st grade registered architect by the country, and named as Chief architect and senior archi-tect. He has been in charge of more than 100 important projects of architecture engineering design which earned him more than 40 excellent design awards from the state, department and province.
The China Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai Expo is Professor He's latest design and is attracting great attention from all over the world and will stand as a red oriental crown towering over the other struc-tures at the event. The main structure of the China Pavilion, "The Crown of the East," stands in the central location of the World Expo site in Shanghai, has a distinctive roof, made of traditional dougong or brackets, which date back more than 2,000 years. The dougong style features wooden brackets fixed layer upon layer between the top of a column and a crossbeam. This unique structural component of interlocking wooden brackets is one of the most important elements in traditional Chinese architecture. It is the first time that Professor He had use red on such a large-scale building and the main colour is "Gugong Red" where experts from the color research institute at the China Academy of Art were invited to find the right Chinese red from these colors, such as the red of Tiananmen, the Forbidden City and the Chinese national flag. Professor He will share more with us in the lecture.
