CZECH REPUBLIC

LOCATION: SUSTAINABILITY DISTRICT | ARCHITECT: FORMOSAAA

The two-storey structure is intended to be an exhibit in itself. Using a canopy of intertwined pipes (nicknamed spaghetti monster), the pavilion’s S.A.W.E.R system showcases a Czech-developed technology which uses solar energy to draw water from the air and convert arid land mixed with subsurface cultures into fertile soil. Inside, you’ll find a ceiling-to-floor hand blown glass installation from Lasvit. The top floor will host a mix of permanent and rotating exhibitions, the latter changing every fortnight. Among the permanent exhibits, remember to see Nanoworld – where Czech technology has been used to create fibres that are 1,000 times thinner than a human hair.
