This time Spain selected hand-woven wicker panels to take the spotlight (wicker is a common material for handicrafts in both Spain and China). The pavilion hired 22 traditional wicker artisans from Shandong Province, who spent nearly half a year constructing the 8,524 hand-crafted panels, which cover a structure built from 250,000 meters of steel beam.
為了在建築素材上力求創新，西班牙這次選擇了兼具環保及傳統手工藝之美的手編藤板（藤條編織在西班牙及中國均為常見的藝品或建材），作為妝點門面的主角。
