Welcome to COFRES at China Europa 2009
The French Company for the Shanghai Expo (COFRES) has confirmed it will attend China Europa 2009.
In charge of French participation at the Shanghai Universal Expo 2010, whose theme, focussing on Sustainable Urban Development issues, will be “A better life, a better city”, the COFRES is project-managing the French Pavilion that intends to be a symbolic, innovative building. Through its shape as much as through its materials and contents, it will reflect France’s dynamic approach as well as its lifestyle.
In that respect and in keeping with the core theme of Shanghai 2010, it will stand as a tangible demonstration of the country’s innovative abilities in terms of sustainable development and cultural influence.
Shanghai 2010’s ambition is to be a model of a “harmonious city”, symbolising “the harmony between Man and Nature”, “the harmony between past and future” and “the harmony between men”.
In addition to introducing the French Pavilion, the COFRES will be organising a conference, which its architect Jacques Ferrier, in particular, will attend.
