The UAE will be the next country to host the 160-year-old global event, Dubai Expo 2020 and has selected the theme “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”, with a focus on sustainability, mobility and opportunity.
World Expo’s attract millions of visitors to explore and discover pavilions, exhibits and cultural events, staged by hundreds of participants including nations, international organisations and businesses.
With news regarding Expo 2020 Dubai slowly beginning to trickle in, we can proudly reveal the winning designs for three of the pavilions.
The designs were picked as part of an architectural competition, with the winning entries selected from the design’s of thirteen architectural firms.
The Sustainability Pavillion
The Sustainability Pavillion comes from Grimshaw Architects. The futuristic design is from the team behind the UK’s eden project – a climate controlled botanic garden. The company’s vision is to create buildings and environments that inspire people and transform communities and this certainly seems to be the case here. Keeping with the name, the sustainability pavilion will be used after the Expo is finished to promote innovative technologies in Dubai.
