  1. Managed by Acción Cultural Española (AC / E), the pavilion has an area of about 5,800 m2 stacked with a series of colorful conical volumes partially covered with ultralight and flexible photovoltaic panels designed by the Spanish company The South Oracle (TSO). The international architecture firm External Reference and Onionlab, a multidisciplinary studio that produces audiovisual installations and exhibitions, have designed the exhibition spaces: "The forest of intelligence" on the lower floor, is a 3D printed artificial forest capable of producing oxygen and an interactive tree that reacts to the sustainable habits of the public. A mix of design, art and technology to create a unique immersive experience in which the richness of the Spanish heritage, science, biodiversity, innovations in sustainability and the circular economy are highlighted.








    Under the motto of 'Intelligence for life', the Spanish Pavilion at the 2020 Expo in Dubai seeks to synthesize "our ingenuity, our creativity and our innovative capacity as essential tools to preserve life and biological diversity as well as to build a sustainable future". The architectural project entrusted to the studio Amann-Cánovas-Maruri is located in the "Sustainability" thematic area, close to what will undoubtedly be one of the largest meeting points: Al Wasl Square and the UAE Pavilion designed by Santiago Calatrava.

    The Finnish Pavilion for Expo 2020 Dubai showcases the country's deep connection with nature and sustainability, contributing to its high quality of life. Titled "Snow Cape", the pavilion designed by JKMM Architects subtly evokes Finnish natural settings through materiality and atmosphere while embodying the principles of circular economy championed by the Nordic country. The structure with its tent-like entrance creates a point of commonality, reminding of Finland's nomadic heritage, as well as the Arabic text.




    The circular economy imperatives have informed the construction of the pavilion, for which the majority of the materials were sourced locally, thus reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Moreover, the design took into consideration the structure's life after the Expo, with the project set to remain in place for an additional five years, after which it will be dismantled and its materials recycled or reused.

    First images have been revealed for the Singapore Pavilion designed by Singapore-based architecture office WOHA at Expo 2020 Dubai which will open to the public on October 1, 2021 in Dubai.
    The Singapore Pavilion takes green architecture to the center of design to help visitors appreciate the benefits and possibilities of integrating nature within our urban environments. Layered with a showcase of greenery, digital solutions and art, the Pavilion exemplifies Singapore’s vision of becoming a City in Nature, and ethos of sustainable development via innovative and impactful urban solutions.
    The Singapore Pavilion is considered one of the greenest pavilions at this year’s Expo, the Pavilion will showcase more than 170 varieties of plants within different layers of greenery in various spaces of the pavilion. From hanging gardens to vertical walls that feature plants of ethnobotanical value1, visitors are enveloped in an inviting three-dimensional green space that also provides a cool respite from the buzz and excitement of the Expo grounds.

    The Indian Pavillion looks just like an office building but it will remain in use after the expo.



    The India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai is all set to display the emergence of a New India to the world, officials said as they unveiled the pavilion during the first media tour on Wednesday.
    Being a legacy building, that will remain a permanent structure, he said the India Pavilion will ultimately be used by the expat community with some elements of business, culture, innovation and start ups.

    The Tongan Pavilion at Dubai Expo 2020, a multi-million dollar facility built with assistance from the government of UAE, was officially handed over to Tonga's Ambassador ahead of the official opening of the world expo next week.

    HE Hon. 'Akau'ola, the Commissioner General of the Tonga Expo team, received the keys, marking the completion of the construction, in a handover ceremony by the Expo Country Manager for Tonga, Mr Samer Mahmassani, on 16 September.
    The first floor of the Tonga Pavilion offers a fully digitised, immersive experience leading visitors on a modern high-tech journey with mascots Lafi, a Tongan boy, and Lei, a humpback whale, around the Kingdom of Tonga.

    “The adventure begins in the luscious forests of 'Eua islands, next through main island Tongatapu, onwards to the stunning beaches of Ha‘apai and ending at the picturesque islands of Vava‘u.” The aim is to shed light on the dangers of plastic waste to the ocean, its inhabitants and the subsequent challenges faced by the Pacific people emphasising ‘One Planet for All’ as the theme of Tonga Pavilion.

    The second floor of the pavilion has fully equipped office spaces and conference rooms to host meetings to explore and advance investment opportunities for Tonga and its people.

  8. Pretty good walking tour of the almost completed Expo site. Language is Arabic but it gives a unique look at some of the buildings.
