Expo 2020 in Dubai unveiled an eco-friendly pavilion to symbolize sustainable building practices. The design is based on three boat hulls, which can be used later, when the building is dismantled.
Pavilion area 3.5 thousand sq. m, the function of walls in it is performed by a network of hanging nautical ropes. They are made from recycled plastic – the equivalent of roughly 2 million bottles. There is no air conditioning system traditional for the Emirates: due to the absence of walls, it is replaced by natural air flows.
Inside the building, 160 species of living plants and algae purify the air; the paths cover is made of coffee grounds and orange peels.
New Atlas states that the pavilion will be open until the end of March next year, and it is planned to host meetings and conferences on sustainable development.
