World Expos are mega-events that attract millions of visitors around the world, inviting them to experience the world from the eyes of different notions and identities, through pavilions and architectural installations. These buildings hold exhibits and cultural events organized by hundreds of participants including countries, international organizations, and businesses.  Back in November 2013, the United Arab Emirates -opposing competitor cities Sao Paulo in Brazil and Yekaterinburg in Russia- was chosen to host the World Expo 2020 in its vibrant city, Dubai.
Planned by HOK Studio, the masterplan of Expo 2020 Dubai covers a 438-hectare site in southwestern Dubai, close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port.
