United Arab Emirates Pavilion Expo 2010 Shanghai

Uncategorized Add comments

The UAE pavilion is based on the form of a sand dune. The pavillion is a reference to this symbolic feature of the desert landscape shared by each of the seven emirates. Like a sand dune, the pavillion appears rough and textured on the side that bears the full force of the wind and smooth on the other side. The northern elevation is more porous to admit natural light, while the southern elevation has a solid facade, to minimise solar gain.
