The Dutch pavilion is called "Happy Street" and was designed by the architect/artist John Körmeling. The pavilion is actually a street in the shape of an 8 (symbolising luck) lined by houses showing typical Dutch icons. Each little house has its own architectural style. By looking through the windows, visitors can see how the Netherlands deals with issues of spatial planning, energy and water. For specifics, please visit the pavilion website.
