نالت باريس لقب "مدينة النور" نتيجة سعيها لإنارة الشوارع منذ زمن طويل، وبذلك تكون قد أضاءت الدرب لتحقيق قفزات كبيرة في تطور البشرية. وفي إكسبو 2020 دبي، يقدّم جناح فرنسا المفهوم نفسه بأسلوب فرنسي خالص عبر مجموعة رائعة من المساحات المضيئة التي تستكشف الإمكانات الكامنة في الضوء، وكيفية تسخيره من أجل التطور الإنساني.

وتغطي الأسطح المضيئة مساحة 2000 متر مربع من الفناء الخارجي للجناح، أما في الداخل فتُرحب بكم المناظر الآسرة التي تشع ضوءا. ويعتمد الجناح طرقا مُستدامة لتوفير الإضاءة، وهو ما يؤكده النظام الكهروضوئي الذي سترونه على امتداد الواجهة الخارجية.


للوهلة الأولى، يبدو جناح فرنسا وكأنه مجموعة من الهياكل الرمادية المربعة المرتبة على شكل حرف L ضخم معلق في الفضاء فوق ساحة مركزية. وبعد ذلك، تشتعل غابة من الأضواء تمتد على مساحة أكثر من 2000 متر مربع لتُغطي واجهة الجناح بأكملها تقريبا من السقوف إلى الجدران.

As the number of missions to Mars increases, so does a new flow of scientific information and discovery that directly contributes to our understanding of the Earth’s trajectory. On 9th February 2021, the UAE made history when its “Hope” spacecraft, the Arab world’s first mission to another planet, successfully entered Mars’ orbit to begin a two-year data-collecting operation. Nine days later NASA’s “Perseverance” rover gently touched down in the Jezero Crater of Mars, the ninth spacecraft to successfully land on the Red Planet. In a year of great global challenges here on Earth, Hope and Perseverance are symbols of the importance of international collaboration, and a perspective that goes beyond national boundaries and interests. This exciting possibility of finding life elsewhere is prompting more countries and other players to participate in efforts to put humans on Mars.

At Expo 2020, sustainability is an urgent, attainable reality, and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion is the proof. Both immersive exhibition space and exemplar of environmental self-sufficiency, Terra is a pioneering piece of architecture that pushes the limits of renewable design.

The pavilion’s 130-metre-wide solar canopy – so vast that you could park 10 city buses head-to-tail atop it – converts sunshine into electricity for the exhibits below. Artfully funnelled natural light and local plant species, together with technologies that can reduce water consumption by 75 per cent, show the way to a sustainable future.

Terra is a super-sized marvel of forward-thinking design. The pavilion’s technology generates enough energy in a year to power a Nissan Leaf to drive halfway to Mars, while another system captures moisture from the air you breathe and turns it into drinkable water. Enter and take a fantastical journey through the wonders of nature, humanity’s challenges and the promise of our shared future.

Space travel and exploration has captured imaginations for generations and the dream of space tourism is now closer to being a reality than ever. At the same time, with outer space remaining one of our few truly shared resources, peacefully managing this distant realm remains crucial. During this fascinating week, we highlight the latest innovations in space research and travel, while also providing a platform to discuss critical issues.

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.
