Экспо-2000 – 2000 жылдың 1 маусымынан 31 қазанына дейін Германияның Ганновер қаласында өткен дүниежүзілік көрме. Ол әлемдегі ең үлкен көрме алаңы – Ганновер жәрмеңкесі алаңында (Messegelände Hannover) орналасқан. Көрмеге бірнеше ай бойына шамамен 40 миллион адам келеді деп күтілген, бірақ күтілгеннен кем, жартысынан да аз адам қатысты. Нәтижесінде, Экспо сәтсіздікке ұшырап, қаржылық жағынан да қиындыққа тап болды. Экспоның бас жоспары Studio d'Arnaboldi / Cavadini, Locarno және AS&P (Albert Speer und Partner GmbH) бірлескен кәсіпорнымен әзірленді.
Expo 2000 was a World Expo held in Hanover, Germany from 1 June to 31 October 2000. It was located on the Hanover Fairground (Messegelände Hannover), which is the largest exhibition ground in the world. Initially some 40 million people were expected to attend the exhibition over the course of months; however, eventually with less than half of this number, the Expo was a flop and turned out to be a financial failure. The Expo's masterplan was designed in a joint venture with Studio d'Arnaboldi / Cavadini, Locarno and AS&P (Albert Speer und Partner GmbH).
Өмірбаян
1990 жылы 14 маусымда Халықаралық көрмелер бюросы (БИЭ) ЭКСПО-2000 көрмесін өткізу құқығын Торонтодан 21-20 дауыспен басып озып, Хановерге тапсырды. 1992 жылы Локарно қаласындағы Арнаболди/Кавадини архитектуралық студиясы көрме алаңының бас жоспары бойынша халықаралық дизайн конкурсын жеңіп алды. Сол жылдың 12 маусымында қалалық кеңес жүргізген сауалнама нәтижесі жарияланды, ол бойынша аудан тұрғындарының бар болғаны 51,5%-ы көрмеге төңкерілгенді қолдады.
On 14 June 1990, the international organization sanctioning World Expos Bureau International des Expositions awarded Expo 2000 to Hanover, beating out Toronto by a 21 to 20 vote. In 1992, the architects Studio Arnaboldi/Cavadini of Locarno won an international design competition for the masterplan of the exhibition grounds. On 12 June that year, a survey conducted by the city council was made public showing only 51.5% of area residents supported hosting the expo.
Құрылыс
1994 жылдың 5 мамырында Бонн қаласындағы үкімет Ганновердегі EXPO 2000 әлемдік көрмесін дайындау және өткізу жөніндегі компанияны (EXPO 2000 Hannover GmbH) құрды. Компания төрағасы Гельмут Вернер басшылығымен көрменің құрылысы мен басқаруына жауапты болды. 1995 жылы қадағалау кеңесі көрменің тақырыптық концепциясын бекітті. Құрылыс 1996 жылдың 22 сәуірінде басталды. Алдыңғы көрмелерден өзгешелігі, EXPO 2000 ғылым мен технологияның қазіргі жетістіктеріне емес, болашаққа бағытталған шешімдерді әзірлеуге және ұсынуға көбірек назар бөлді.
On 5 May 1994, a new company was created by the government in Bonn, Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung und Durchführung der Weltausstellung EXPO 2000 in Hannover (EXPO 2000 Hannover GmbH). Headed by chairman Helmut Werner, the company was responsible for the construction and management of the Expo. In 1995, the supervisory board agreed on the concept for the thematics of the Expo. Construction finally began on 22 April 1996. Unlike previous expos, which focused on present advances in science and technology, EXPO 2000 focused more on developing and presenting solutions for the future.
Дүниежүзілік ЭКСПО 2000
Экспо 2000 жылдың 1 маусымында ашылды және 31 қазанда аяқталатын бес ай бойы жалғасты. Экспо алаңы Гановер жәрмеңкесінің бастапқы 1 000 000 шаршы метрінде орналасқан; жаңадан ашылған бөлім ретінде қосымша 600 000 м2 жер де пайдалануға берілді. Келушілер кіре бастағанда және билеттер алынғанда, шамамен төрт қабатты төбеге қарап, үлкен дөңгелек пішіндес кабиналарды байқаған болар еді. Олардың ішінде үлкен теледидарлар орналасқан, оларда анимациялық кейіпкерлер келушілерді қарсы алып, түрлі тілдерде туристік ақпарат ұсынып тұрды. Сонымен қатар, онға жуық ірі McDonald's мейрамханалары мен көрмеге қатысқан бірнеше елдердің мейрамханалары салынды. Экспо тауарларын сату үшін шағын сауда орындары да ашылды. АҚШ салыстырмалы түрде кешкі сатыда қатысудан бас тартты, ал американдық павильонға бөлінген аумақ дамытылмай қалды. Экспо-2000 көрмесіне 40 миллион адам келеді деп күтілді, бірақ іс жүзінде 25 210 000 адам келді. Бұл шамамен 600 миллион АҚШ долларына тең қаржылық тапшылыққа әкелді. Алдын ала сатылған билеттердің бағасы 69 DM болғандықтан, Экспо басқа демалыс орындарымен салыстырғанда қымбатқа түсті. Франкфуртер Аллегемейне газетіндегі комментатор Георг Гиерсберг Германияның 53 негізгі ойын-сауық паркіне кіру ақысы Экспо бағасынан кем дегенде екі есе арзан (шамамен 30 DM) екенін жазды. Қаржылық қиындықтардың тағы бір себебі корпоративтік демеушіліктің жетіспеуі болды, себебі ресми өнім жеткізушісі болу үшін 4,8 миллион АҚШ доллары, ал әлемдік серіктес болу үшін 14,5 миллион АҚШ доллары қажет болды. Экспо-2000 сәтсіздікке ұшырауының бір себебі – Экспо-2000 қандай мақсатта өткізілетінін нақты түсіндіре алмаған «ақылға сыймас» жарнамалық кампания болды, сондай-ақ Эксподан не күтуге болатыны туралы анық түсінік болмады. 2000 жылы Time журналында Берлиндегі Scholz & Friends маркетингтік фирмасы «ұйымдастырушылар Экспо-2000 қандай болатынын – ойын-сауық паркі, үлкен музей, әлде табиғат қорығы екенін жұртшылыққа анық жеткізе алмады» деді. Сол мақалада Ганновердің қоршаған ортаны қорғау жөніндегі азаматтық бастамасының хатшысы Ральф Стробах «Компаниялар көп уақыт бойы ақшаларын экологиялық көрмеге салып, соңғы жаңалықтарын көрсетуге бола ма, жоқ па, әлде басқа нәрсеге салып, соның нәтижесін күте ме екеніне көз жеткізе алмады» деді. Экспо ашылғаннан кейін және күтілген нәтижелерге жете алмағаннан кейін, британдық актер Питер Устинов пен неміс тележұлдызы Верона Фельдбуштің қатысуымен, ішкі нарыққа бағытталған және Экспоның қызықты жағын көрсеткен жаңа жарнамалық кампания жасалды. Кампанияның ұраны: «Das gibt's nur einmal, es kommt nie wieder» («Бұл бір рет қана болады, ол ешқашан қайтып келмейді»). Неміс тобы Kraftwerk «Expo 2000» атты дауыс кодталған сөйлеуден тұратын ерекше тақырыптық әнді жасады, ол сондай-ақ бір аттас сингл ретінде де шықты. Кейіннен «Expo Remix» ремикс-синглі жарық көрді. Сонымен қатар, топқа бес секундтық джингл үшін 190 000 АҚШ доллары төленді, бұл канцлер Герхард Шредерді «Мен осылай көп ақша жұмсамас едім» деп мәлімдеуіне себеп болды.
The Expo opened to the public on 1 June 2000 and ran for five months, ending on 31 October. The Expo site was situated on the original 1,000,000 square meters of the Hanover fairground; an additional 600,000 m2 was also made available as a newly opened section to the grounds. As a visitor walked in and tickets were taken, looking above to the approximately four story high ceiling, a visitor would have noticed the huge circular pods that held large TVs showing animated people greeting the visitors and providing tourist information in different languages. Some ten large McDonald's restaurants were also built, along with restaurants representing several of the exhibitor countries. Small retail locations were also set up to supply Expo merchandise. The United States reversed its decision to take part at a relatively late stage, and the area set aside for the American pavilion was left undeveloped. 40,000,000 visitors were expected at Expo 2000, but only 25,210,000 people came to see the event. This led to a financial deficit of about US$600,000,000. With pre ordered tickets priced at 69 DM, the Expo seemed expensive compared to other days out. Commentator Georg Giersberg wrote in the Frankfurter Allgemeine that entrance fees for Germany's 53 main theme parks cost on average less than half the price of the Expo (about 30 DM). Other financial shortfalls came from a lack of corporate sponsorship, since it cost US$4.8 million to be an official product supplier or US$14.5 million to become a world partner. Part of the failure of the Expo was a lack of clear perception of what to expect at Expo 2000, not helped by a "cerebral" advertising campaign that had failed to explain what the Expo was for. In a 2000 Time article, a Berlin based marketing firm, Scholz & Friends, stated that "the organizers have failed to convey to the public a clear image of what Expo 2000 is going to be: an entertainment park, a blown up museum, or a nature reserve." In the same article, Ralf Strobach, secretary of Hanover's Citizens' Initiative for Environment Protection, said that "For a long time, companies were unsure if they would be putting money in an eco show or a showcase for their latest inventions." Only after the Expo was open and clearly not meeting expectations was a new advertising campaign created, aimed at the domestic market with British actor Peter Ustinov and German television star Verona Feldbusch and stressing the fun side of the Expo, under the slogan "Das gibt's nur einmal, es kommt nie wieder" ("This only happens once, it's never coming back"). The German band Kraftwerk created a vocoded speech signature theme, "Expo 2000", which was also developed into a single of the same name. Later, a remix single "Expo Remix" was released. The band was also paid US$190,000 for a five second jingle, leading Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to state that he "wouldn't have spent so much money".

Кронсбергтің батыс беткейі 1990 жылдардың соңында ЭКСПО 2000 көрмесіне орай пайда болды және Ганновер ЭКСПО-сында экологиялық тұрғын аймақ ретінде қалыптасты. Бұл аудан – тәуелсіз даму тарихының және көбінесе жеке аудан деп есептелетін ерекше құрылымның нәтижесі.
The western slope of Kronsberg emerged in the late 1990s in conjunction with the EXPO 2000, established an environmental point of settlement at the Hannover Expo. The district is a result of independent evolutionary history and unique structure often perceived as a separate district.

In total, 155 nations took part. Some are outlined below:
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created. Germany – Designed by architect Wund Gruppe, the 24,000 m² building was the largest nation pavilion at Expo. Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century. Moreover, the King’s privilege armchair, clothing and accessories of ancient heroes and weapons were shown in the "Chingis's Town". Netherlands was located at '3' Europa Boulevard, and the Dutch pavilion was one of the most popular buildings, winning international acclaim, and was designed by the firm MVRDV. The theme of the 36 m high building (the Expo's tallest structure) was "Holland creates Space". Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere. Portugal – Designed by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, the 2,350 m² pavilion was located on the Europa Boulevard. The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.

The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.

In total, 155 nations took part. Some are outlined below:
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created. Germany – Designed by architect Wund Gruppe, the 24,000 m² building was the largest nation pavilion at Expo. Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century. Moreover, the King’s privilege armchair, clothing and accessories of ancient heroes and weapons were shown in the "Chingis's Town". Netherlands was located at '3' Europa Boulevard, and the Dutch pavilion was one of the most popular buildings, winning international acclaim, and was designed by the firm MVRDV. The theme of the 36 m high building (the Expo's tallest structure) was "Holland creates Space". Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere.

In total, 155 nations took part. Some are outlined below:
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created. Germany – Designed by architect Wund Gruppe, the 24,000 m² building was the largest nation pavilion at Expo. Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century. Moreover, the King’s privilege armchair, clothing and accessories of ancient heroes and weapons were shown in the "Chingis's Town". Netherlands was located at '3' Europa Boulevard, and the Dutch pavilion was one of the most popular buildings, winning international acclaim, and was designed by the firm MVRDV. The theme of the 36 m high building (the Expo's tallest structure) was "Holland creates Space". Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere. Portugal – Designed by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, the 2,350 m² pavilion was located on the Europa Boulevard. The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.

Netherlands was located at '3' Europa Boulevard, and the Dutch pavilion was one of the most popular buildings, winning international acclaim, and was designed by the firm MVRDV. The theme of the 36 m high building (the Expo's tallest structure) was "Holland creates Space". Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere. Portugal – Designed by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, the 2,350 m² pavilion was located on the Europa Boulevard. The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created. Germany – Designed by architect Wund Gruppe, the 24,000 m² building was the largest nation pavilion at Expo. Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century.

Нидерланды – «3» Еуропа бульварынде орналасқан, ал Нидерланд павильоны халықаралық деңгейде танымал болған ең танымал ғимараттардың бірі болды және оны MVRDV фирмасы жобалады. 36 м биіктіктегі ғимараттың (Эксподағы ең биік құрылым) тақырыбы «Голландия кеңістік жасайды» болды. Шағын аумақты тиімді пайдалануға болатынын көрсету үшін алты голландиялық экожүйелік ландшафттар жинақталды. Қонақтар бірінші қабаттан кіріп, ғимаратты айнала орналасқан үлкен сыртқы баспалдақтар арқылы көрме алаңына өтті. Жоғарғы қабатта ғимаратқа қуат беретін жел диірмендерімен қоршалған шағын көл орналасқан. Ішкі кеңістіктерді MET Studio жобалады. Бастапқы жоспар ғимаратты бөлшектеп, Амстердамға қайтару еді, бірақ жаңа ғимаратты бастапқыдан құру әлдеқайда арзан екені анықталды. 2006 жылдың мәліметі бойынша, ғимарат бос тұрды және ішінара тоналған, терезелері сындырылған және барлық жерде қоқыс жиналған.

Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere. Portugal – Designed by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, the 2,350 m² pavilion was located on the Europa Boulevard. The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created. Germany – Designed by architect Wund Gruppe, the 24,000 m² building was the largest nation pavilion at Expo. Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century. Moreover, the King’s privilege armchair, clothing and accessories of ancient heroes and weapons were shown in the "Chingis's Town".

Japan – The Japanese Pavilion was a gridshell structure made out of recycled paper tubes that created a honeycomb like building. The German authorities refused to allow a paper only structure, literally held together at the joints by tape, so a secondary supporting structure made of wood was created to obtain the needed legal approval. Designed by architect Shigeru Ban along with consultants Frei Otto (the German architect who created the Olympic Stadium (Munich) and the German pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal), Buro Happold (the British engineering firm which created the Millennium Dome) and Stefan Polonyi (a structural engineering professor), the building took 3 weeks to assemble and covered an exhibit area of 72 m (long) x 35 m (wide) x 15.5 m (high), pavilion lot size: 5,450 m² and building surface area: 3,600 m². Latvia – about 300,000 people participated in the "Zime" project created by Armands Strazds and Modris Tenisons. Lithuania – The pavilion was designed by Marina and Audrius Bučas, Gintaras Kuginys, Valdas Ozarinskas and Aida Čeponytė. The building was a futuristic glossy yellow. The main attraction was the film "Flight over Lithuania". Mexico – The pavilion consisted of five separate buildings linked by ramps, and after the Expo, was relocated to the Braunschweig Fine Arts College. The architect was Ricardo Legorreta. Monaco – Monaco contributed at the exhibition by constructing a hypermodern modular prefabricated pavilion which was designed by the architect Hans Ferdinand Degraeuwe. Mongolia – Mongolia participated at the exhibition by constructing a nomadic town of the 13th century, called "Chingis’s Town", covering one hectare. The pavilion was designed by the architect Adiya Baldandorj Bayud, to show the ger residences of Great Khans of the Mongol Empire of the 13th century. The feature of this town was that it created the town with ger, ger carriage and various kinds of cotton residents, which are different in forms, sizes and applications, used by Mongolians of that century. Moreover, the King’s privilege armchair, clothing and accessories of ancient heroes and weapons were shown in the "Chingis's Town". Netherlands was located at '3' Europa Boulevard, and the Dutch pavilion was one of the most popular buildings, winning international acclaim, and was designed by the firm MVRDV. The theme of the 36 m high building (the Expo's tallest structure) was "Holland creates Space". Six Holland eco system landscapes were stacked to showcase how a country can make the most out of a small space. Guests entered on the ground floor and moved through the exhibit space via grand exterior staircases that wrapped around the building. The top level contained a small lake surrounded with windmills that generated power for the building. The interior spaces were designed by MET Studio. The original plan was to dismantle the building and move it back to Amsterdam, but it was determined that it would be much cheaper to just create a new building from scratch. As of 2006, the building sits empty and is partially looted with windows smashed and garbage everywhere. Portugal – Designed by architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, the 2,350 m² pavilion was located on the Europa Boulevard. The prefabricated two story building was covered with around 55 tons of expanded cork agglomerate and with hand made glazed tiles on the patio and had a double glass fibre canvas membrane roof. Spain – Designed with the theme "Familiarity and Solidarity." Switzerland – The 3019 square meter pavilion designed by Peter Zumthor was built of stacked wooden beams of larchwood and Scots pine held together by steel rods and springs. United Arab Emirates – The 3000 m² pavilion, situated on a 6000 m² plot (the largest of the Expo sites), was a recreated desert fort. Designed by the French architect Alain Durand Heriot, the exhibit tried to evoke the feeling of being in the Arab state. The main attraction was a 360° circular cinema. The building was 84 m × 36 m and built out of recyclable materials. The theme of the pavilion was "From the traditional to the modern" and presented the history of the country. Venezuela – The pavilion was a convertible tent structure which opened and closed like a flower. It was very lightweight, was constructed with no waste and completely re usable. The flower petals were positioned according to the weather, to shade, keep dry or allow sun to shine on the pavilion. It was designed by Fruto Vivas and Frei Otto with SL Rasch.
Венесуэла – Павильон гүл сияқты ашылып, жабылатын шатырлы құрылымнан тұрды. Ол өте жеңіл, қалдықсыз салынды және толыққанды қайта пайдалануға болатын. Гүлдің жапырақтары ауа райына қарай орналастырылды, көлеңке беруге, құрғақ сақтауға немесе күн сәулесін павильонға түсіруге мүмкіндік берді. Оны Фруто Вивас және Frei Otto SL Rasch компаниясымен бірлесіп жобалады.
In total, 155 nations took part. Some are outlined below:
The Bhutan Pavilion – A Buddhist Temple brought from Bhutan to the World Exhibition in Hannover, having been prefabricated in 16,000 construction parts in Bhutan. Finland – Titled "Wind Nest", the building was created by architects Sarlotta Narjus and Antti Matti Siikala. Four storey twin buildings measuring 50 x 7.5 m each were clad in heat treated thermowood. The two buildings were connected by bridges, allowing visitors to move amongst the three exhibit halls on the first two stories. A 15 m wide birch forest was also created.

Мұра
Экспо 2000 аяқталғаннан кейін ЭКСПО алаңындағы кейбір ғимараттар сатылды, бірақ көрме аумағының көп бөлігі 1949 жылдан бері Германиядағы ірі жәрмеңкелер үшін қолданылып келеді. Экспо Плазаның оңтүстік-шығыс аймағы Ганновердің ақпараттық технологиялар, дизайн, медиа және өнердің жаңа орталығына айналдырылды. Көптеген ұлттық павильондар ЭКСПО аяқталғаннан кейін бұзылды немесе бөлшектелді де өз елдеріне жіберілді. Кейбір ғимараттар сақталды, олардың ішінде Нидерланд павильоны да бар. Бұл құрылыс уақыт өте келе тозығына ұшырады, бірақ 2017 жылдың желтоқсанында MVRDV архитектура компаниясы болашақ пайдаланушыларға арналған Нидерланд павильонын қалпына келтіру және жаңарту жоспарларын жариялады. Поляк павильонында Төменгі Силезия аймағының таныстырылымы аясында көрмеге қойылған Томаш Урбановичтің "Бірлескен Жер" атты шыны мүсіні кейіннен Вроцлав қаласы Еуропалық Парламентке, Страсбургке тапсырды. Бұл мүсін Architecture Studio сәулет бюросы жобалаған Луиза Вайс ғимаратының Агорасының орталық бөлігі болып табылады.
Some of the buildings on the Expo site were sold after EXPO 2000 ended, but most of the exhibition area is still used for major fairs in Germany, as it has been since 1949. The southeastern area around Expo Plaza has been turned into Hanover's new centre of information technology, design, media and arts. Most of the national pavilion buildings were demolished, or disassembled and shipped to their home countries, following the Expo. Some buildings were retained, including the Netherlands Pavilion. The structure has now fallen into disrepair, until earlier in December 2017, when architecture company MVRDV announced plans to restore and renovate the Netherlands pavilion to accommodate future users. A glass sculpture called "United Earth" by Tomasz Urbanowicz exhibited as part of the Lower Silesian Presentation in the Polish Pavilion was later handed over by the City of Wrocław to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The sculpture is the main central point of the Agora of the Louise Weiss building designed by Architecture Studio.
