“Smart living, smart thinking, smart feelings”, is the mantra at the Ukraine Pavilion, where this storied Eastern European nation presents its thriving technology sector, as well as its deep cultural heritage. Experience Ukrainian innovations, from an e-bike that can travel 380 kilometres on a single charge to solar blinds that generate electricity, inside a space-age four-storey pavilion. Join a seminar to explore how to build a more balanced world. Then relax in a lush indoor garden, take in a fashion show or sample Ukrainian cuisine.


The Ukraine pavilion welcomes visitors with a commanding, four-storey steel structure of linked polygonal shapes that evokes a futuristic spacecraft. The 15-metre-tall building is covered entirely in reflective glass, with giant banks of floor-to-ceiling windows that angle outward to create a faceted, jewel-like look. Sand-coloured bands of geometric-patterned plasterwork anchor the structure, mark the space between floors, and crown the handsome building.

Morocco Pavilion

For thousands of years, Morocco’s Berber people have built their traditional squared homes and villages out of mud brick, producing structures that have stood for centuries. The Morocco Pavilion at Expo 2020 advances this form in dazzling style, combining modern design and rich heritage to create a uniquely vertical journey through Morocco.

As you ascend the ramp through the pavilion, you’ll experience ancient streetscapes and cutting-edge innovations: everything from traditional Moroccan gardens to one of the world’s largest solar-energy plants, Noor-Ouarzazate. It all ends with a stunning panoramic view from the pavilion’s rooftop area.

Traditional vertical mud-brick villages get a modernist makeover at the Morocco Pavilion. Over a dozen giant blocks formed from hundreds of earthen cubes are stacked in a loose, offset pattern to create a lively, four-storey tower that faintly glows with rusty orange warmth.

With its enormous population and diversity of ancient traditions, India is a place of incredible richness and complexity. The India Pavilion offers a new take on the country that goes beyond its famed culture and stunning landscapes to show a rising economic power that is very much open for business. The pavilion focuses on “New India”, an emerging global hub for innovation, inspiration and investment. Its wide variety of exhibits feature not just the food, tea and Bollywood entertainment that so many know and love, but also the country’s modern-day advancements in technology, aerospace, manufacturing and more.

The India pavilion is a four-level rectangular structure, covered on its upper three floors with rotating tiles in hues of red, orange, and white. 

This kinetic exterior surface also serves as a screen for projected images, such as the face of Mahatma Gandhi. The bottom level features a plate-glass façade.
