MADE INBHUTAN

The Amazing, Dazzling Craft & Art Is from the Contribution of Ingenuity, Time, and Labor of the Distinguished Bhutanese People. The Delicate Wood Carved Components of the Pavilion Are All Made in Bhutan, and It Took One Month to Ship to Taiwan.

Inspecting the Pavilion Base

It took us several months

inspecting and planning,

through numerous

communications and

brainstorming, to make

this vacancy into an

amazing and dazzling

garden.

The lawn in front us is the Base of the

Bhutan Pavilion.

From a flat ground to an expo pavilion patterned on the

terrain of Bhutan. The concrete walls made the embryo of

the garden and assured the safety of the earthwork.

After one month of sea-freight, the container had finally arrived in Taiwan safely.The 20 foot container was full of components from Bhutan. When the door was opened, the room was filled with a pleasant odor of wood.

To Cement Firming Construction

Auspicious Footprints24 Sept. before we left the base, the team had made sure that the

cement floor was hardened already, but on the next day, we found the

floor muddy and with these footprints. Bhutanese Venerable Lamas

said that it is a very Auspicious Sign.
