法國館 , 這座仿佛漂浮于地面上的白色宮殿 , 盡
顯未來色彩和水韻之美。自動扶梯將游客帶到展館的
最頂層，這七件珍品的展覽區域自此在斜坡道上鋪開，
沿著下坡路回到起點。
正是這種極具創意的建筑設計，給我們提出了新
的挑戰。展柜總長36152mm，被設計放置在坡度為3.9
度的斜坡上，展柜隨斜坡向下延伸，要求玻璃、背部
展板的分割線與地平面垂直。
展柜被設計成 22 個單元，每隔 2 個單元展示一
件展品 . 展品單元的玻璃采用肖特 Amiran 低反射玻
璃，其他單元的玻璃采用超白玻璃。這樣，既能保證
展示效果，又能有效控制造價。展柜高度 3905mm，
頂部結構被隱藏到吊頂中。
除玻璃外，展柜僅允許使用鋼材及鋁合金。我們
采用了從加拿大進口的鋁蜂窩復合板作為后結構板及
底板，復合板表面為 ICI 水性金屬面漆。我們在展柜
的后側加裝了 3mm 的裝甲，用來防范來自于外界的
電動工具或火力武器對展品的可能損害。

The French Pavilion, which is aptly described as the “Floating
White Palace”, is teeming with futuristic colors and surrounded by
the beauty of rhythmic water flow. An escalator takes visitors to the
top-level of the main exhibition hall where the exhibition area starts
on a ramp, continues towards a descent, and then returns back to
the starting point.

It is this innovative architectural design that provided us with a
new challenge. Exhibit cases were laid out at exactly 36,152mm
in length and designed to be placed on a gradient of 3.9 degrees.
The exhibit cases stretched along the descent. The dividing lines of
all glass panels and the rear dressing panels of the cases had to
be vertical against the ground level.

Exhibit cases were designed into 22 separate units, and every
other two units were used for exhibit display. Schott Amiran anti-
reflective glass was used for the exhibit units and extra-clear glass
for the other cases. This combination of materials and construction
methods helped to achieve the visual appeal of the exhibits and
effectively controlled the cost of fabrication and installation. Exhibit
cases were 3,905mm in height, and the top lighting header was
concealed within the top.

Besides glass, only steel and aluminum alloy were allowed for the
fabrication of the exhibit cases. Aluminum honeycomb compound
plates imported from Canada were used to fabricate the rear
structural panels and the bottom plates with ICI aqueous metallic
paint finish. A 3mm thick armor plate in steel was installed at the
back of the structural panels of the cases so as to prevent damage
to the exhibits by electric tools or physical intrusion from outside
the building.
