LONDON.- The UK Pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai by Heatherwick Studio has scooped the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) prestigious RIBA Lubetkin Prize for the most outstanding work of international architecture by an RIBA member. The UKs pavilion at the Shanghai Expo, named the Seed Cathedral, is constructed from 60,000 7.5 metre long slender acrylic tipped aluminum rods suspended in a timber frame which sits upon a landscaped area designed to look like a creased piece of paper. The long rods, which quiver in the breeze, create an effect which has been likened to a dandelion and a sea urchin. The presentation of the RIBA Lubetkin Prize, supported by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), will took place on Tuesday 29 June at the Royal Institute of British Architects headquarters in London.
