Expo 2012 Yeosu <strong>Korea</strong><br />
The Second Story in a Series of Three Articles<br />
Expo 2012 (http://www.expo2012.or.kr/eng/main.asp) held in Yeosu <strong>Korea</strong> will allow<br />
visitors to experience diverse and plentiful themes where designated exhibition<br />
rooms have been prepared apart from the exhibition halls, which distinguishes this event<br />
from other international expos. The designated spaces are used to exhibit the given<br />
themes which consist of Big-O, Marine Experience Park, and Expo Digital Gallery<br />
(EDG), which will become the central place of the exposition by making innovative use<br />
of the natural and geographical conditions present at the site.<br />

Big-O and Marine Experience Park<br />
Big-O is the world's first special event venue to be built on the sea, and it is going to be<br />
established alongside the seafront of Yeosu Shinhang. It will be a future-forward and organic<br />
space where visitors experience 'Life of the Ocean and Coast' and also where main<br />
events, marine performances, cultural events, and new-media shows are staged. Far<br />
from the old concept of exhibition halls, Big-O will project large-scale and innovative exhibition<br />
techniques to the outdoor space and natural environment.<br />
Expo Digital Gallery (EDG)<br />
EDG is the central avenue of the exhibition, which continues from Yeosu's old downtown<br />
to the KTX station. A ubiquitous marine culture center that integrates state-of-art<br />
