#repost • @vincentcallebautarchitectures One week to go until the official opening of the Belgian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai on 1st of October ! Our "Green Arch" is located in the Mobility District of the Expo and presents a sustainable and inclusive architecture, an ode to the circular economy, renewable energies, biobased materials and biodiversity. We have built a huge hyperbolic paraboloid in solid wood to protect visitors from the sun and generate natural ventilation. The pavilion is covered with more than 2,500 plants, shrubs and trees and sheltered by a large solar canopy. The heroes of Belgian comics will guide you to discover the smart and green Belgium of 2050, a belgium with a plural singularity, symbiosis between Latin artistic romanticism and Anglo-Saxon technical ingenuity. Don't forget to taste our Belgian fries & our waffles !
