SPECIAL EXPO

Ethics and aesthetics go together in the ‘green’ spirit of Expo Milano 2015. Where vegetable gardens and tilled fields extend ingeniously on vertical walls for a fertile encounter between nature and technology. Starting with the 1000 square meters of the ‘Vertical Field’ of the Israeli Pavilion, designed by the architect David Knafo and continuing with the Chinese Pavilion, the result of collaboration between Tsinghua University & Studio Link-Arc and the Vietnam Pavilion by the architect Vo Trong Nghia.
