An expo is the vista by which each nation strives to embody its progression and to leave significant imprints of its evolution through facilitating architecture; it is more of a conquest of perfection that each country struggles to triumph. The concept of the information pavilion captures this challenge through a struggle to reserve a place among the surrounding supremacies.

An expo is the vista by which each nation strives to embody its progression and to leave significant imprints of its evolution through facilitating architecture; it is more of a conquest of perfection that each country struggles to triumph. The concept of the information pavilion captures this challenge through a struggle to reserve a place among the surrounding supremacies.
The pavilion sits relatively in the middle of the “Decumanus” enabling an easy access for the Expo’s visitors approaching from the Expo’s main Entrance.The pavilion welcomes the guests with a wide opening between two of the pavilion’s fragments which are on their peak height from the side facing the Expo’s main entrance, emphasizing good visibility for those seeking Information
The birth of the structure started as an extension of the “Decumanus”; a structure that strived to promote itself in the presence of the surrounding dominances which left their marks on the form of the pavilion; yet the “Decumanus” along with its heavy linear human flow fractured a structure which interrupted its course. Such fractured organization has now a void forming a passage within the “Decumanus” encouraging a harmonic circulation along the pavilion.
The “Decumanus” which is the prominent force of such form organization has set a linear type of accessibility in the fractured void which formed the spine of the pavilion leading to entrances to the two pavilion fragments from within. The bents in the pavilion’s geometry which trace their roots to the surrounding powers now offers welcoming entering to the pavilion from the sides.
