As of January 2021, the landscape design for the Sustainability Pavilion-Terra at Dubai EXPO was completed and has since marked a huge leap forward in establishing a new, sustainable form of landscape architecture in the region. The project has introduced the general population to a more sustainable approach to landscape.
The landscape design features countless innovations and trials of new materials with the hope that future-designed landscapes will adopt and build upon these precedents. More than 100 ‘new’ plant species were cultivated as part of the landscape design, many of which were grown from seeds collected in the UAE’s wadis, deserts, and mountains.
The pavilion landscape is composed of a number of different zones, with each delivering a particular aesthetic and message. Each zone is bound by a common flowing, undulating language which gradually focuses smaller tributaries and paths towards a main wadi path, which then descends towards the sunken entrance of the building. These flowing lines serve not only to enhance the narrative and aesthetic, but likewise guide the convergence of visitors towards the entrance of the pavilion itself. With a number of walls featuring perforated motifs of local flora and fauna accentuating the undulating pathways, visitors can enjoy exploring spaces which are concealed, then revealed in a sequence.
During the development of the pavilion, the project’s economic viability is just as critical as its environmental sustainability. Truly sustainable development is a labor of love. They have the greatest value for the longest time at the lowest cost to the economy and the community. In terms of landscape, we acknowledge that the huge investments undertaken in creating beautiful and usable outdoor spaces must be justified. As a result, we scrutinized each and every design choice to ensure that it adds value to the overall experience.
