Expo 2020 Dubai

The broad motto of the Expo 2020 is ‘Connecting Minds – Creating the Future’. The design by Holzer Kobler Architekturen and Fontana Landschaftsarchitektur created a stacked ‘landscape of opportunities’, an installed composition of an abstract, self-sustained exhibition landscape. The building blocks are composed of elements from Swiss culture and nature, and its economy. Above this, the Swiss landscape is turned upside down – in the form of a hanging, fragrant herb canopy.

Unfortunately our landscape of opportunities will not be implemented. The award went to the mirror pavilion designed by the Zurich-based OOS Architekten. Nevertheless we would like to invite you to take a little look at the Swiss herb canopy. By the way, in 2010 Fontana Landschaftsarchitektur did get the commission to design the Swiss Pavilion for the Expo in Shanghai together with Buchner Bründler Architekten.
