Design of Dutch Pavilion for Dubai EXPO 2020 Unveiled

Design 
DUBAI, (informazione.it - comunicati stampa - arte e cultura)

 

The Dutch pavilion is the embodiment of the Netherlands' chosen theme of 'uniting water, energy, food' and demonstrates the connection this country is so good at making between sustainable energy, water management, agriculture and circularity. Inside the pavilion visitors are treated to a sensorially rich experience of Dutch know-how and skills in the field of innovative water, energy and food harvesting. The circular or closed-loop climate concept generates a world in which visitors are able to immerse themselves in silence, warmth, coolness, light, darkness, agriculture and water, and in which they can discover natural ways of controlling climate. In Dubai's dry desert climate, the Netherlands will create a temporary biotope.

 

The pavilion will be built using a construction method and materialization that makes the closed-loop circularity concept intelligible. To minimize transport, the entire pavilion will be constructed with locally sourced construction materials. All materials will be either given back or recycled after the expo closes, a strategy that will keep the pavilion's ecological footprint as small as possible. Building on the Netherlands' international reputation for excellence in civil engineering, which is especially strong in the Gulf region, the pavilion is a temporary exercise in pragmatism. In contrast to the civil engineering character of the exterior, the interior adds a scintillating layer of light, tactility and refinement, inspired by the typical rhythm of the Dutch landscape and geometric patterns and elements from the Arabic culture.

 

The Dutch pavilion (3,727 m²) is in the Sustainability district and forms the culmination of the Netherlands' multi-year campaign in the Gulf region, focusing on Dutch expertise in the domain of water-energy-food. In addition to its presentation of 'the Netherlands', the pavilion is also a meeting point for the business community, educational and research institutions, governments and social organizations.

 

The Dutch pavilion was designed by the Dutch Dubai consortium, made up of Expomobilia, V8 Architects, Kossmann.dejong and Witteveen+Bos. Together they command a wealth of experience and a strong network in Dubai . The pavilion brings together all the necessary know-how and technology in the fields of pavilion construction, architecture, interactive visitor experiences, closed-loop technology and sustainable building. A great many innovative Dutch companies were involved in the development of the concept, including Aardlab and Sign.

 

The 35 World Expo will take place in Dubai between 20 October 2020 and 10 April 2021 . It is the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East . Under the overarching theme of 'Connecting minds, creating the future', 170 countries will present ideas, innovations and technologies.

With an estimated 20 to 25 million visitors, Dubai EXPO 2020 offers possibilities and opportunities for participants and visitors alike. The Netherlands' participation is aimed at providing Dutch stakeholders from the public and private sector with a platform for enhancing their network and position in the Gulf region both before and during Dubai EXPO 2020.
