Netherlands Pavilion

stamp DP- Netherlands

Image Gallery

The Netherlands Pavilion’s eco-friendly exterior of reclaimed iron might remind you of the past, but this place belongs to the sustainable future. In the middle of the arid Dubai desert, the pavilion uses innovative engineering to create a “closed-loop” biotope, producing its own energy, water and even food. A towering 17-metre-tall central cone provides an impressive focal point, upon which edible greens such as cress and sprouts are grown. Within the pavilion is a unique multi-sensory show that highlights the closed-loop farm’s wonders, from the water harvested from thin air to the mushrooms grown on the walls.

Innovative and sustainable, the Netherlands Pavilion not only sourced its construction materials locally in the UAE, but functions as a “closed-loop” biotope that produces its own energy, water, and even food. 

Shaped like an enormous theatre stage, the sides and back of the pavilion are built from orange-red reclaimed metal beams that form a wavy accordion-like pattern inside and out. The roof is constructed from huge metal tubes bound together into panels.

Singapore’s decades-long journey from urban jungle to tree-filled green space has earned it the nickname “City in a Garden”. For Expo 2020, the island country has brought a slice of Singaporean greenery to the Dubai desert, creating a lush, fully explorable rainforest experience.

The open-air Singapore Pavilion unfolds across 1,500 square metres of soft tropical plant life, centred upon three striking, themed garden cones and capped by a solar canopy and hanging garden. Sample the authentic flavours of Singapore at the Sky Market, take in the leafy vistas from the canopy walk, or just take a deep breath and enjoy the garden’s calming quiet.

An abundance of plant life amid the Dubai desert, the Singapore Pavilion is a sustainable rainforest paradise, inspired by the island nation’s nickname: “City in a Garden”. The open-air structure is both surrounded by and covered with tropical greenery. Beginning at ground level, a lush garden filled with trees and shrubs encircles the three massive cone structures that form the pavilion’s core.

Water Feature

Be transformed by Surreal at Expo 2020, which blends mesmerising sights and sounds in a synchronized spectacle of music, water and fire. Larger-than-life immersive walls are swept over by gushing water which then appears to flow upwards in a gravity-defying feat of engineering. Central spirals produce roaring hydrogen flames bright, unexpected colors. Every element, right down to splashes of water at certain moments, is meticulously designed and choreographed in a spectacular collaboration between LA-based WET Design (designers of the Burj Khalifa fountain), and Ramin Djawadi (award-winning composer of the Game of Thrones score).

An immersive experience not to be missed, Surreal is a feast for the senses, combining water, sound, light and even fire in a mind-bending spectacle. You may not believe your eyes.
