Architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava unveiled the Qatar Pavilion design at \u201cEXPO 2020\u201d, which was rescheduled to this year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

The Pavilion\u2019s design combines elements of sculpture and structure, resulting in an architectural beacon representative of Qatar\u2019s vision of the future, while paying tribute to the nation\u2019s cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Covering an area of approximately 960 m2<\/sup> (10,333 sf), the Qatar Pavilion accommodates a total built up area (BUA) of approximately 620 m2<\/sup> (6674 sf). The iconic, intersecting structures of the main building will ascend upwards to nearly 15 m (49 ft) in height, with an adjacent sculptural monument rising to 20 m (66 ft) in height. Internally, the Pavilion will consist of two main galleries and exhibition spaces, providing inclusive and experiential environments for visitors.<\/p>\n

The Pavilion\u2019s design draws inspiration from the four elements represented on the Coat of Arms of Qatar: two crossed and curved swords, encompassing a Dhow and Island with palm trees. The Pavilion\u2019s expressive form combines and translates these cultural elements to capture movement, mobility, strength, and tradition. Calatrava\u2019s design emulates a modern interpretation, which symbolizes Qatar\u2019s progressive outlook of the future while remaining true to its culture and heritage.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with Santiago Calatrava, main contractor ALEC FITOUT and the project\u2019s engineer of record Aurecon, the Qatar Pavilion is anticipated for completion in September. Led by Micael Calatrava, the team has facilitated the rapid design and construction progress, culminating in a construction period of five months, having started in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
