Italy can be considered an excellent example of cultural and creative biodiversity, which bases itself on dialogue and identity exchange, instead of one dominant cultural identity, suggesting a living workshop of sustainable evolution.
The beauty of the Italian landscape constitutes the pavilion design itself. Starting from its envelope: a surrounding garden/landscape takes the visitor through a journey of thematic stories and immersive experiences, with production, invention, culture and technology constituting the bones, or the internal structure, the built up: a grand scenic machine in continuous movement.
The Italian pavilion for EXPO Dubai 2020 interprets the idea of a garden as an opening scene which functions as place of openness and exchange, whilst presenting the productive, vibrant, open, progressive and pluralist Italy. Where nature and technology are continuously weaving together: allowing us to keep in touch with our territory and future.
In typological terms, the building presents an unpublished link between internal and external environment primarily developed through the frontal garden-facade that leads to the journey of ‘queuing’ and introduction. This creates an imaginative stream for the visitor, allowing them to foreshadow an interesting and complex experience within the pavilion.
