The skywalk zone E installation was a monumental task; with tight spaces, nighttime work permits and mid-air balancing acts

Construction at The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion at #Expo2020 #Dubai continues to proceed ahead of schedule. The distinctive design of our pavilion offers a glimpse into our nation's vision, and will serve as host to millions of people worldwide.

Time-lapse of the Dutch Pavilion from July/August. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of work ongoing and I am hearing rumours that a lot of construction work has been stopped and contracts dropped. Anyone know if these rumours are true?

Testing the projection mapping on the domes.

In this week's episode of Construction Week's Expo Reactions series, we speak with the commissioner-general of the Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, Adrian Malinowski.

Malinowski discusses the one-year postponement of the World Fair as well as telling CW that the "intensive process" of building works will start on the pavilion during August and September 2020. The Polish Pavilion's slogan is: "Poland. Creativity inspired by nature” and is designed by the WXCA architectural studio.

I somehow missed week 11 of the series but here it is...

In this episode, Construction Week deputy editor Anup Oommen speaks to Daniel, the Commissioner-General of the Estonia Pavilion at #Expo2020 about what visitors can expect to see and experience at the Estonia pavilion, a "digital way of life", and how Estonia is coping with the COVID-19 outbreak.

Talking about the progress on the construction of the Estonia Pavilion, Schaer says: “We are renting the Pavilion. We were a little late in the decision-making process and decided to take a pre-built pavilion from the Expo organisers. So, the building has been completed, and we're working very diligently on the exhibition side, at the moment."
