Sustainability Pavilion revealed
A thought-provoking format will explore difficult environmental issues.
Designs for Terra, Sustainability Pavilion, Expo 2020, Dubai were appropriately unveiled on Earth Day. The architecture of the pavilion pushes the boundaries of sustainable design and cutting-edge technologies as it tells an enchanting, interactive story that highlights the often-negative relationship between nature and humans. Embodying the Exo 2020 message of ‘Welcome the Future,’ the space will also present possible solutions to these disturbing challenges and issues.

The goal is that people will emerge with a new perspective that inspires action for a better future.
