“Circular architecture, removable and reusable; new materials, such as coffee grounds, mushrooms, orange peels and flour derived from algae used to build the structure; no recourse to artificial climate control methods”. This is how an article on Repubblica introduced the Italy Pavilion at Expo Dubai, defining it as “a model of sustainability”.

The forthcoming Universal Exhibition, which opens its doors on 1st October 2021, “will be the first example of a new model of ‘hybrid’ event, which can be experienced both physically and digitally. The Italy Pavilion, which will observe these criteria, with its architecture aims to move all the senses of the visitors, regardless of whether or not they are physically present”.
