YES has developed a concept around the Swedish Pavilion, with Swedish wooden houses. Module-based construction is a new requirement in China, but building in wood is difficult, lacking both material and know-how. Sweden has the latest advanced technology to build in wood, up to over 10 floors, but no one has succeeded in selling it to the Chinese market.
Inspired by Nybygget Demo Park, along with eco-cities such as Hammarbysjöstad, Lake Mälaren waterfront in the Swedish energy capital Västerås, and Bovieran modern elderly care apartments, we would like to develop a concept of new social housing blocks in China. Collaborative living, elderly care, and kids' eco training centers all fit into the expo park area. We will continue the theme of Linnaeus which we had in 2014, and we will follow up on our success in making it part of the new Chinese urban planning.
