SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Today, cities represent 3 % of the planet's surface and concentrate more than 50 % of the population. A figure that will rise to 70 % by 2050. In addition, cities generate more than 80 % of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).
In addition to facilitating access to essential services for life - such as energy and water - ACCIONA contributes to making cities places of productive well-being in which to live, favouring people's socio-economic development.
ACCIONA Cultura is responsible for the technical development and exhibition implementation of the Sustainability Pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai, in United Arab Emirates.
After the Expo, the pavilion will become the Centre for Science and for Children. ACCIONA Cultura work focused on executing the exhibition zones of the pavilion, covering a total of 10,175m2 distributed into 14 galleries over two floors. The exhibition is extremely participative and features a wide variety of highly interactive multimedia and immersive experiences. It is also combined with more traditional resources such as mechanical and staged elements, scale models, display modules, and soundscapes and smells.
The pavilion has been designed by the prestigious architects firm Grimshaw Architects and is 100% sustainable. The project is LEED Platinum certification (building and exhibition) along with Expo KPIs and Al Sa’fat green building regulations of Dubai.
