documentary by Bas Roeterink, 53 min.
John Körmeling is the architect of the Dutch pavilion 'Happy Street' at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Filmmaker Bas Roeterink followed him for 3 years during the construction.
Filmed up close we see Körmeling's frustrations and joy in working with his Chinese fellow workers, while 'Happy Street' is taking shape at the background.
"Here in China they probably like it more than people in Holland do. Dutch
people will ask:"How much does all this cost?" and "Is it necessary?". While
in China they like extreme ideas."
