Korea in World Expos... n°2 - Paris 1900

It's not the first time I will talk about the World Expo 1900 in Paris, if you remember this first article : http://expo2012-yeosu-korea.blogspot.fr/search/label/Expo%201900

Emperor of Korea, in 1900

In first, more precisions about Expo 1900 and the pavilion of Korea :

This event proposes to make the balance of the past century.
At the heart of Paris, this expo has welcomed nearly 51 million visitors on 110 hectares meets hundreds of pavilions and palaces, the Invalides to the Champ de Mars, to the banks of the Seine and the Trocadero slopes.
Electricity was there queen and had his palace.
Major accomplishments, such as the Pont Alexandre III, the Grand Palais and Petit Palais still exist today.


This is the first time that Korea, empire of 13 million inhabitants, presents its own pavilion.
Located along the Avenue de Suffren, on side of Champ-de-Mars, its execution was entrusted to a French architect, Mr. Ferret.

Now, I will show the Korean pavilion of Expo 1900 in the 3D project, and how it was rebuilt for the film.
Here's the first steps of the 3D modeling :

The furniture inside the house are just to make the filling, if the inside is just visible in the final 3D animation. There is not much documentation and photos on these elements.
