The pavilions with aesthetic and unique styles are highly suggested to visitors. Under the pandemic, there might be obstacles going to the exhibition in person. Therefore, we would like to share with you some of the eye-catching and worth-attention pavilions presented in the Dubai Expo.
Singapore Pavilion by WOHA
This pavilion is created with the concept of “oasis in the desert”. With the full coverage of greenery, this creates an interaction among humans and nature. Providing a space for people to escape from the hustle and bustle, this pavilion creates calmness, comfort and clarity to everyone who is under great pressure.
The design adopts passive strategies like overhang for shading, an open floor plan for natural cross-ventilation, and high volumes for daylighting which can successfully promote a natural comforting atmosphere to the general public.
Sustainable development also appears to be one of the major targets while creating this pavilion. Solar panels and water desalination systems are used to support the whole operation of the pavilion in order to keep the approach of clean energy while operating.
