2020 EXPO Pabellón de los EAU
The idea underlining most of 2020 Expo seems that of including high tech facilities and innovative technologies within an historical legacy. If Dubai has always been known for its millionaire investments and urban development Expo 2020 really seems to be an opportunity to underline Dubai and the Emirates’ rich historical culture, and the importance to build the future on the past. Thus, the concept of explicitly building an iconic structure will remind the expo visitors of the history and geography of Dubai, while informing them about futuristic themes.
The UAE Pavilion will be connected to the main theme pavilions: opportunity, mobility, and sustainability, whose projects will be designed respectively by BIG, Foster & Partners, and Grimshaw.
