“莲花是越南的国花，象征着对未来的纯洁、承诺和乐观，”建筑师们说。“从泥泞的池塘中生长出来，它从表面上升起，绽放出非凡的美丽。这朵花证明了耐心可以将困难转化为优势。”

"The Lotus is Vietnam’s national flower, a symbol of purity, commitment and optimism for the future," say the architects. "Growing from the muddy ponds it rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. The flower is proof that patience can turn difficulties into advantages."

除了莲花背后的象征意义外，武忠莹还用花来比喻足智多谋：“莲花除了美外，与越南菜有着很强的联系，没有一种植物被浪费掉，植物的所有部分都被认为是一种精致的…。作为一项临时活动，建筑师在设计展馆时的作用是减少它的影响。“

In addition to the symbolism behind the lotus, Vo Trong Nghia also use the flower as a metaphor for resourcefulness: "Apart from its beauty, the lotus has a strong connection with Vietnamese cuisine; none of the plant is left for waste, with all parts of the plant considered a delicacy... As a temporary event, the architect’s role in designing the pavilion is to reduce its impact."

为此，该设计广泛使用竹子，一种生长速度快、碳含量低的材料.展馆的设计也是为了拆卸，使其部件可以被重复使用。

To do so, the design uses bamboo extensively, a fast-growing and low-carbon material. The pavilion is also designed to be disassembled so that its parts can be reused.

对于游客来说，展馆将在竹子结构和树木下提供阴凉处，而贯穿建筑地板的“莲花池”将在展馆内提供凉爽的小气候。在凉爽的日子里，折叠的屏风可以提供保护，但是在温暖的日子，屏风可以被移除，凉亭也会被微风吹凉。

For its visitors, the pavilion will provide shade under the bamboo structures and trees, while the 'Lotus Pond' that permeates the building's floor will provide a cool microclimate inside the pavilion. A folding screen will provide protection from the elements on cooler days, however on warm days the screen can be removed, and the pavilion will be cooled by the breeze.

吴荣霞希望借此展示“越南人对大自然的热爱，与全世界分享”。

With the pavilion, Vo Trong Nghia hopes to demonstrate "the Vietnamese love of nature which will be shared with the whole world."
