The South East Asian nation of Timor-Leste weaves its culture into every thread of its vibrant, traditional tais fabrics. Each district boasts its own tais patterns, which are dyed using local plants and given as a gift of friendship. Timor-Leste extends that fellowship to you at its Expo 2020 pavilion, which offers beautiful displays of tais and authentic wood carvings, as well as inviting aromas of native spices and local coffee. The pavilion also recreates a bird-like Timor totem house, where you can watch videos spotlighting the resilient working families that power this young nation and add your own thread to their tais.

Drawing on cutting-edge eco-technology, the Czech Republic Pavilion at Expo 2020 conjures a blooming garden in the Dubai desert literally from thin air. Powered by solar energy and Czech ingenuity, the pavilion’s sustainable vapour harvesting system pulls water from the air to create a beautiful oasis.

You’ll see the artful evidence of this system throughout the pavilion in the form of sweeping, swirling pipes, which not only channel the water but combine into fanciful “clouds” that offer shade. As you follow their flow, you’ll be treated to displays of Czech glassmaking, exhibits exploring desert cultivation and authentic regional cuisine.

A model of form meeting function, the pavilion uses a swirl of hundreds of pipes to create the impression of a cloud rising from a lush desert oasis. These “bioplastic” pipes, which climb in great curls from a garden of palms and shrubbery, are part of an innovative system that uses solar energy to capture water from desert air.
