In tropical Costa Rica, the friendly term “pura vida” (or “pure life”) can mean everything from “I’m doing great” to “no problem!” to “you’re welcome”. The Costa Rica Pavilion shows that the term is gaining an even more profound meaning as 99 per cent of Costa Rica’s power grid runs on renewable energy, reflecting the country’s dedication to a pure, sustainable way of life. Embark on a journey through Costa Rica’s pristine rainforests, and explore the country’s winning fight against deforestation and climate change.

With a gushing 4,000-plus millimetres of annual rainfall in some areas, it’s no wonder that Guinea calls itself the “water tower of West Africa”. At the Guinea Pavilion, the country invites you to tap into its water flow as you explore its natural wonders.

Your journey through the pavilion will cover Guinea’s rich history and promising future through the lens of water, from ancient tribal empires to modern hydroelectric opportunities. Hear Guinea’s sonic landscape at the sound panel, learn about its biodiversity and cultural traditions and discover the striking Lady of Mali rock formation through an interactive waterfall projection.

Italy’s voyage to Expo 2020 began long before opening day, when three custom-crafted boats set sail from Venice, Genoa and Naples. Nearly 10,000 kilometres later, the vessels arrived in Dubai and were hoisted up on steel pillars to form the roof of the Italy Pavilion, a striking showcase of culture, science and the nautical arts.

Inside the pavilion, beyond a dramatic veil of LED strands, stylish exhibits await. See a five-metre-tall 3D-printed replica of Michelangelo’s legendary David statue, learn about algae at a cluster of naturally multicoloured pools or gaze up and contemplate the fanciful hanging gardens embedded in the boats’ hulls.

The Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 is a dramatic, open structure reminiscent of a giant carnival tent, with a swooping canopy and a layer of 20-metre-tall white strands surrounding its interior like a veil. A set of high steel pillars support its imaginative roof, which is formed from the hulls of three boats.

From the 18th-century writers of the Declaration of Independence to the creators of today’s smartphones and social-media networks, innovation and love of liberty have always been at the very core of America’s identity. The USA Pavilion at Expo 2020 celebrates these twin national pillars with an immersive exploration of the past and future of the American spirit.

Hop on board a moving walkway and see the sights across several large exhibit areas. Attractions include dynamic digital presentations on America’s history of innovation, a fun ceiling-displayed science narrative, an enormous replica space rocket and much more.

The United States Pavilion centres on a broad façade decorated with a modular pattern of large white metal stars, evoking the American flag. A screen of lofty vertical metal slats stands perpendicular to the left edge of the structure, bordering a walkway that leads guests inside, while a wide roof screen overhangs the full length of the façade, providing shade.
