Sustainable Design Guidelines For Primary Pavilions, Shanghai Expo2010

Shanghai has gotten the right to host the World Expo 2010, which will be the first time for the developing countries to hold such an International Registered Exhibition. With the theme of "better city, better life", as well as the slogan "Eco Expo", as a special support research of the Shanghai Science & Technology Committee (No. 05dz05829) . This paper targets at building up a set of sustainable guidelines to supervise the composition of design tender documents, and support detailed designs, construction, operation and reuse. Based on a review of existing successful sustainable guidelines and the methods and tools to create sustainable indicator system, the "Target/ Cross-Based Method" is preferred to construct framework, and "Combination / Exclusion Method" is preferred to select indicators.First, according to the EXPO 2010's theme, the roles EXPO played in Shanghai sustainable development and review of previous Expo pavilion's design objectives, the Primary Pavilion design objectives are established, which include: safety of tourists, sufficient capacity, unimpeded transport, reasonable function, environmental coordination, temperature control, theme exhibition, heritage protection, ecology/energy conservation.Second, after the indicators from Design Tender Documents and Project Proposal Documents of Six Primary Pavilions are calculated and the defects of existing architectural design are concluded, this research is focused on supplement of indicators related to temperature control, theme exhibition, heritage protection and ecology/energy conservation .Third, four fully-fledged sustainable guildeline systems: Leed (America) , HK-BEAM (Hong Kong) , Guideline for Sustainable Building (German) , GBCAS (China) , and Three researches related to Shanghai World EXPO 2010: Green Building Guideline Research, Temperature Reduction and Control Research and Term of Reference Research are selected as indicator resources. What's more, when the Selection Principles (Regional, Presented, Target, and Specific) are considered, the unrelated indicators will be excluded and the sustainable design "whole composite indicators" system will be made. These 145 indicators cover different Life stages, from detailed designs, construction, operation and reuse after EXPO 2010. At last, the sustainable design guidelines will be respectively established through the comparison between the present and the "whole composite indicator "system, and the screen of the every pavilion's actual situation.
