Designers also a number of specially designed exhibition hall as the "blade" the same incision, gently hanging them in the construction of the three sides, and penetrate to the inside of buildings. Do not underestimate these "blades", they form not only rich dynamic venues, but also the external lighting to help light reflection to the museum, together with the central hall the formation of a ventilation corridor, adjusting the temperature inside the stadium.

Italian National Museum of Shanghai World Expo design contest jury members of the creative Professor Franco Purini, mosaic appearance and the "blade" of the unique design allows the building Smart and unique, the internal space for alleys, paths and squares of great design ductile, light magic cross mapping in the Pavilion area and every corner, like a fun game. The stadium is a city, visitors will start from the entrance of stadium experience a mysterious journey.
 

Italian Pavilion is not only novel in design, its highlights is the use of innovative materials to create the climate and ecology. Designers used a recently developed diversity materials - transparent concrete, is added to the glass texture in the concrete elements, using a variety of different ingredients to achieve the ratio of change in the transparency of the gradient. This material can be playing different roles on different occasions, both day and night building can be perceived outside temperature, humidity, especially for the exhibition of building construction.

Beginning, the building was conceived as a designer has a special eco-climatic features of the "machine", and with an energy storage device. In the designer view, the operational needs of the entire building sustainable and efficient energy, so at the design stage must be very deeply concerned about the building's energy consumption and storage, and development of alternative fuels in order to work with the theme of Shanghai World Expo Correspondency . For example, the venue of the cooling system utilizes the natural air currents outside, through the "Blade" to transport natural wind within the pavilion, and use water for cooling. Profiles outside the exhibition hall with an integrated photovoltaic solar modules, the device can absorb solar energy, improve indoor temperature, while the effective protection of rainwater intrusion. In light, the exhibition is installed control systems and optimization of natural light and artificial light equipment, through the hall and the "blade" to natural sunlight to the interior.
