ALEATEK Studio, creators of the winning concept "Floating Forest," aimed to interpret Serbian culture and natural heritage. Situated at the West Entrance and Earth Plaza, the pavilion serves as a signature "meeting spot," providing direct access to open landscape features, leisure, and entertainment facilities on the ground floor.
