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.

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.

Known for its beautiful white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, the natural landscape of the Bahamas faces a grave threat: the 700 islands that make up the country could lose 80 per cent of their land to rising sea levels before the century is over. Drawing on digital displays, artworks, documentary films and more, the Bahamas Pavilion explores how the nation’s citizens are working to solve the urgent issue of climate change. Experience the creativity and resilience of the Bahamian spirit through a wide-ranging tour of the islands’ culture.

Belarus is a place where the new and old coexist – where an emerging high-tech hub thrives alongside the ancient Belovezhskaya Pushcha, one of Europe’s last remaining primeval forests. The Belarus Pavilion honours this harmony between nature and technology with its “smart forest” full of inventive exhibits to explore.

Beginning with the digital grove of stylised trees outside and continuing through the interactive tunnels and art displays within, visitors to the pavilion will journey through an ingenious Forest of Future Technology. Chat with a herd of virtual wisent (or European bison), tour a giant tree of innovation and much more.

The Belarus Pavilion is a sleek, faceted structure, decorated with images of Belarusian trees on one broad angle, with traditional geometric patterns on another, and a towering mirrored wall on a third. In front of the pavilion are a dozen six-metre-high green “digital trees”, inspired by its ‘Forest of Future Technology’ theme.

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.
