Three different colored panels, brown, beige, and black, will create the impression of a Tiger. The traditional use of wicker is "one of the many common commodities between Spain and China," said General Commissioner Maria Tena yesterday as organizers showed the site to reporters. "Using the wicker is a call to look to the future without forgetting our traditions." "The Basket," as some have dubbed the pavilion, is "on track for completion," said Construction Manager Marco Bonamoneta. Workers have been fastening the panels to the steel and glass structure for two weeks. The panels were handmade by craftsmen in Shandong Province, each one unique in design. Each also has a tag that indicates its position on the frame. Workers assemble particular panels like a puzzle. The design is so specific because the black panels will form the shapes of Chinese characters - sun and moon, for instance. All will reference elements of nature. Three exhibition rooms, with installations by Spanish film makers from three decades, will be inside. Visitors will pass through the halls as the rooms move from Spain's past to present to future. 2010 shanghai world expo UK Pavilion reveals its whole design 02/04/2010
