SPECIAL EXPO
Lightness, airiness, transparency: these are the design themes that become a proving ground for the (original) architectural solutions of a number of pavilions.
Like the totomoxtle, the husk from ears of corn, as a figure of inspiration for the pavilion of Mexico, designed by Francisco López Guerra Almada; the ethereal structure of the United Kingdom Pavilion, where wind plays between the segments of a large golden ‘hive’ created by the English artist Wolfgang Buttress; the pavilion designed by ARGE, Milla & Partners, Schmidhuber, Nussli Deutschland; the Korean Pavilion (by Studio Archiban of Seoul) that evokes the Moon Jars of the Korean pottery tradition; the innovative design of the Uruguay Pavilion by Javier Diaz; the project of the Azerbaijan Pavilion, from a multidisciplinary effort that Simmetrico has shared in with the architecture studio Arassociati, landscape designer Emanuele Bortolotti of AG&P and the structural designers of iDeas; the Russian Pavilion by the studio Speech of Sergei Tchoban; the Kuwait Pavilion by Italo Rota.
