WOHA creates "oasis in the desert" for Singapore Pavilion at Dubai Expo



Architecture studio WOHA has created a plant-filled pavilion covered in a "three-dimensional garden" at Dubai Expo 2020.
Set opposite the Grimshaw-designed Sustainability Pavilion and next door to the Dutch Pavilion in the expo's sustainability district, the Singapore Pavilion was designed to be a nature-filled place of retreat from the bustle of the event.

The building was built around three plant-covered cones that contain a series of exhibition spaces.
Visitors to the pavilion take a route up through the building on a series of walkways that pass through hanging gardens and around and into the cones.

"It is a prototype that showcases strategies that are scalable and adaptable, from buildings to ci...
