The making of Ephemicropolis from Peter Root on Vimeo.

Peter Root created this metal city using nothing but staples, he calls it 'Ephemicropolis'. I just found this on the designboom blog and thought you might like it.

Great scott, what is that?

I'll tell you what this is, it's the UK pavilion for the 2010 World expo. Based in Shanghai, this extravagant piece of architecture is the British pavilion called the Seed Cathedral. This is expressing the British creativity and environmental engagement which explores the relationship between nature and city. This is being created by the work of Thomas Heatherwick. 

An unusual but extremely powerful pavilion to express our British creativity.
