The concept refers to the substance of the S.A.W.E.R. system as the heart and technological core of the pavilion. Its substance that is manifested on many levels is transformation. It turns air in water, arid desert in a flowering garden and it also changes the way people perceive the Czech Republic. An inevitable condition of such transformation potential is a considerable complexity of the system that grows through the whole object

AUSTRIA Austria makes Sense A grid of truncated cones will unfolds to create patterns of light and shadow. The cone forms will be carefully engineered to invite the visitor to rest and contemplate the surrounding exhibition.

An interdisciplinary jury of experts recommended the project “in dialogue with Austria” under the direction of Querkraft Architekten.

24 |

The exhibition area for the Austrian pavilion will be located between Switzerland and China in the Opportunity district: “unlocking the potential within individuals and communities to shape the future”. In a time where huge amounts of information create misleading answers for complex issues, the Austrian Pavilion will focus on a framework of innovations.

“The Green Arch” is based on a “bridge-building”, creating an immense vault with double curvature between its two pillars. This curvaceous vault is generated from a universal mathematical minimum surface called “hyperbolic paraboloid”. This paraboloid is built in CLT - Cross Laminated Timber - with more than 5.5 linear kilometers of spruce louvers generating a giant wooden Mashrabiya - which by rotating of 180 degrees - envelops the entire project to better protect it from solar radiation.

AZERBAIJAN A microcosm of conscious design We were inspired by two iconic natural elements, a leaf and a tree, which were transformed into the architecture of our project. The leaf is a metaphor for an endless energy process. Every leaf transforms the sun’s energy into vital power. The tree makes life on this planet possible, it is a symbol of care and protection.”

42 |

The design of the Azerbaijan pavilion for the Expo 2020 in Dubai alternates complex interactive technology with organic shapes. The architecture evokes a tree whose trunk, from the roots to the foliage, supports a leaf. Lying on its side, the leaf covers and protects the central structure. The lower side area around the tree – also called Agora – can be accessed directly from outside.
