30 thematic district pavilions

The thematic districts are an integral part of the Expo 2020 Dubai site and comprise 86 permanent buildings spread over three separate “petals”, housing 136 participating countries. Each of the three petals has been given a unique and memorable character, depicted through a different geometry, landscape and colors to reflect the three main themes of Expo 2020 Dubai: Mobility, Opportunity and Sustainability.

Designed by Hopkins and Partners, the neighborhoods are meant to evoke old Dubai, and feature facades reminiscent of traditional Emirati wind towers, as well as walkways that are lined with indigenous flora.

The team was called by the Expo Dubai 2020 company to assist 30 assisted countries in the creation of the exhibition contents and their design:

Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bhutan, Commonwealth of Dominica, Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Federal Republic of Somalia, Georgia, Independent State of Papua New Guinea, Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Kingdom of Eswatini, Lao PDR, Principality of Andorra, Republic of Armenia, Republic of Benin, Republic of Botswana, Republic of Chad, Republic of Cyprus, Republic of Guatemala, Republic of Madagascar, Republic of Nicaragua, Republic of Palau, Republic of Panama, Republic of Sierra Leone, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Republic of Zambia, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, São Tomè and Prìncipe, Solomon Islands, State of Eritrea

30 different exhibitions developed from the blank sheet in close collaboration with the countries: from the search for the excellence of the participants to their relationship with the theme “connecting minds, creating the future”, from the development of specific contents for each one to the exhibition storytelling, from the visitor experience to the visual identity of each country created ad hoc, up to the printing and installation of the contents.

30 visual and interactive stories available to the Expo public starting from 1 October 2021.
