Kerto® LVL used in Floriade World Expo pavilion

​My Green World, the exhibition centre build for the World Horticultural Expo Floriade in 2012, is unique.  The inspiration for the centre’s double arched shape came from a seed sprouting from the earth. The exhibition centre was built with Kerto LVL Q crosswise glued LVL and Leno cross laminated CLT. The 1200 square-metre pavilion was finished in just six months after the preliminary idea of the 'germinating seed'.
