From Superstructure to Dust – Italy Pavilion

Italy Pavilion

In the early days of Expo, a concept never seen before was implemented on what would have been considered a pipe dream in an industry that we have today. While we have seen some over the top designs such as the Future Museum, it is likely we will never again be able to see a structure that is purely open to the harsh weather conditions of the UAE. A brief history of the Italy Pavilion and and where we’ve come thus far.

The Core Team – Italian Government Officials; Paolo Glisenti (Commissioner) with RAQ CEO – Third and Second from the right respectively – at the final handover of the plot to Expo. Italy Pavilion demolition complete 26 September 2022.
