Shangai Expo 2010 Polish Pavilion
Splitting tree
Dandelions
New Aquapark building site on north of Malta LakeI love architecture. Today I received a link to Polands architectural design for its national pavilion in World Expo Shanghai 2010, presenting a geometrical structure covered with paper-cutting patterns. The design of the 3,000-square-meter Poland Pavilion is the winning entry chosen from 20 candidates in the designing competition and was designed by Arch. Marcin Mostafa, Arch. Natalia Paszkowska and Arch. Wojciech Kakowski. The designs are based on traditional Polish folkart. I think the building is amazing so I posted the pictures and here is the story. http://www.archtracker.com/polish-pavilion-for-expo-2010-shanghai-china/2009/05/
Last night we went to our English mass and it was back to normal, only 5 people. Two of the girls in front of us must have been from the music school because they were exceptionanl in singing the hymns.
This afternoon Joan and I went to Malta Lake for a walk outside and to see what changes were going on there. They are building the Aquapark overlooking the lake on the north side. Lots of dandelions are evident everywhere as well as flowering crab apple trees. Malta is a 6km walk around the lake but we didn't do it all today. It has a bike/rollerblade/ walkway built but it's not the best place to walk during a Sunday because of all the bikers and rollerbladers. It's good during the weekdays but on the weekends it's better to go to the country and walk an old, unused road like we did last week. We made a stop at the Rynek on the way back from Malta, had coffee and watched the parade of pedestrians. There are a few less cafes than last year but our favorite is still there with the same waitresses from our first visit in 2007.

Nowe na placu budowy na p贸艂noc od jeziora Malta
Kocham architektury. Dzisiaj otrzyma艂em link do Polski projekt architektoniczny krajowego pawilon Shanghai World Expo w 2010 r., przedstawiaj膮ce geometryczne struktury pokryte wzor贸w ci臋cia papieru. Projekt 3000 metr贸w kwadratowych Polska Pawilon jest Zwyci臋ski wybranych z 20 kandydat贸w w konkursie projektowania i zosta艂 zaprojektowany przez in偶. Marcin Mostafa, Arch. Natalia Paszkowska i Arch. Wojciech Kakowski. Projekty oparte s膮 na tradycyjnych polskich folkart. My艣l臋, 偶e budynek jest niesamowity wi臋c napisa艂em tutaj zdj臋cia i jest historia. http://www.archtracker.com/polish-pavilion-for-expo-2010-shanghai-china/2009/05/
Ostatniej nocy ruszyli艣my do naszego angielski masy i wr贸ci艂o do normy, tylko 5 os贸b. Dwie z dziewcz膮t przed nami musi by膰 od szko艂y muzycznej, poniewa偶 by艂y exceptionanl w 艣piewanie hymn贸w.
Po po艂udniu Joan i ja poszed艂em do jeziora Malta na spacer na zewn膮trz i zobaczy膰, jakie zmiany zosta艂y tam dzieje. Albo buduj膮 nowy kompleks apartament贸w lub parkingu z widokiem na jezioro od strony p贸艂nocnej. Wiele mlecze s膮 widoczne wsz臋dzie, jak i kwitnienia jab艂oni kraba. Malta jest 6 km spacer wok贸艂 jeziora, ale nie zrobili艣my wszystko dzisiaj. Ma rower / rolkach / wybudowany chodnik, ale to nie jest najlepsze miejsce na spacer w niedziel臋, poniewa偶 ze wszystkich rowerzyst贸w i rolkarzy. To dobrze, ale w dni powszednie w weekendy lepiej uda膰 si臋 do kraju i i艣膰 stare, nieu偶ywane drogi jak my w zesz艂ym tygodniu. Zrobili艣my przystanek na Rynku w drodze powrotnej z Malty, mieli艣my kaw臋 i ogl膮da艂 parad臋 pieszych. Istnieje kilka mniej ni偶 w roku ubieg艂ym kawiarni, ale nasz ulubieniec jest wci膮偶 tam z tym samym kelnerki z naszej pierwszej wizyty w 2007 roku.
