Kazakhstan arrives at Expo 2020 with dramatic swooping architecture and a warm “Salamatsyz ba!” – or “Hello!” At the Kazakhstan Pavilion, you’ll undertake a journey through grassy steppes and technological achievements as you learn about the sense of shared destiny the Kazakhs call Mangilik El – or the “Eternal Nation”. Inside are countless wonders to explore, from a visually impressive pre-show featuring floating digital strands of DNA, to immersive exhibits on Kazakhstan’s mineral wealth. If you’re wondering why the pavilion uses the spelling “Qazaqstan”, it’s because the nation plans to officially change its entire alphabet in 2025!


Kazakhstan

The Kazakhstan Pavilion consists of a detached rectangular shell with archways that reveal a golden core building beneath. Inspired by the latticework of traditional Kazakh circular tents, or yurts, the pavilion’s white outer façade is perforated with algorithmically arranged holes that allow the building to breathe and, after dark, create a starry light display.

As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia opens itself to the world, its contribution to Expo 2020 mirrors the nation’s grand ambitions. Boasting a vast façade that covers the area of two football pitches, the Saudi Arabia Pavilion takes the form of an opening window that soars into the sky bearing messages of inspiration.

Your Saudi experience begins in the open plaza under the pavilion, where the giant screen above and LEDs below combine to create a dazzling light show. Next, the “Heritage Path” escalator will transport you to immersive exhibits – and you can end your journey with refreshments and shopping in the pavilion’s scenic palm garden.

The monumental Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion is a mirrored slab that extends up diagonally from the ground, resembling a giant window opening toward the sky. The immense structure soars six storeys into the air and covers more than 13,000 square metres, or the area of two football pitches. The sides of the pavilion feature a decorative motif of grey horizontal lines like layered metal, while its vast underbelly — which shades an enormous plaza — is mirrored and smooth.

The Fijian word “bula” is a versatile term that conjures a friendly spirit of happiness and good fortune. At the Fiji Pavilion, you can learn this island paradise’s blissful secrets on a tour of its seven steps to becoming a “bulannaire” – one who is rich in happiness.

The pavilion’s wealth of exhibits include relaxing tropical hammocks and gorgeous views of Fiji, but it’s not all smiles: the low-lying archipelago is already threatened by climate change, through rising sea levels and dying coral reefs.
