The Indonesia Pavilion will be 4,000 square meters with the theme "Eco-diversity."
The walls, ceilings and some of the ground areas will be built from bamboo, which symbolizes the spirit of the country that is so resilient, according to Mari Pangestu, Indonesia's trade minister.
Budi Lim, architect of the pavilion, said a 40-meter wide and 17-meter high waterfall would be createdin the middle of the building,cutting it into two parts, just like the Equator through Indonesia.
The cost of the pavilion will be about US$12 million.

The 3,000-square-meter pavilion is a cube with spirals.
