UAE is by far the most important pavilion to visit during your Expo tour. The pavilion is built across four enchanting floors and exhibits Emirati achievements – from the construction of the world’s tallest skyscraper to reaching Mars – and culture. Visitors can explore the story of the UAE as a global hub as well as the vision of its leaders to create a peaceful and progressive society.
The UAE Pavilion was designed by Santiago Calatrava. The architecture emulates a falcon in flight, which is the national bird of the UAE, and the design pays homage to the region’s heritage and traditions. The building is all painted in white, smoothly curved throughout, and the interior is dotted with blue ponds and small trees making it one of the most beautiful structures you have to check out while you are at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Unlike other pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai that focus on modernity, walking through the Singapore pavilion is like walking through a forest and if you are looking for a different experience at Expo 2020 Dubai, be sure to stop here.
Singapore pavilion illustrates the country’s extraordinary transformation from a crowded and polluted city to a futuristic haven. It’s hard to tell where nature begins and architecture ends when you look at this beautiful nature-inspired pavilion. You will be walking through a net-zero energy rainforest powered by a self-sustaining ecosystem while enjoying all the beautiful forest trees and hanging gardens inside.
The Italian pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai looks at reconfigurable architecture and circular design. Its facade is made of two million recycled plastic bottles, while the rest of the structure features innovative materials, such as algae, coffee grounds, orange peel and sand.
‘Our design for the Italian Pavilion deals with what I believe is architecture’s most important challenge today: advancing the double convergence between the natural and the artificial. It anticipates issues and suggests strategies that will be increasingly crucial for the future of our cities as we address the consequences of the current climate crisis,’ says Carlo Ratti, designer of the Italian pavilion.
At the Korea Pavilion, you will be able to go on a digitally-guided tour along an elevated walking path that crisscrosses around its dynamic facade that constantly changes throughout the day. The pavilion is all about showcasing the concept of smart Korea that the country envisions, under the theme “Smart Korea, Moving the World to you.”
If you are looking for a viewpoint to go up to see all the pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai, be sure to drop by the republic of Korea pavilion and walk along its elevated walking path. It is one of the best places to see just how beautiful all the architectures are at Expo 2020 Dubai.
